Alternative Chiropractic: New office and Dojo !

Months ago, I had talked about my martial arts instructor, John Riggs, being a chiropractor by day and teacher by night. Well, after months of hard labor and stress... his new office and martial arts studio are now up and running.

ALTERNATIVE CHIROPRACTIC SOLUTIONS has a new location, 2608 Loma Drive, at the corner of Loma and Pine. Located next door to John Williams L.M.T., Dr. John Riggs' new facility has been customized by himself personally to bring to life a new, functional and beautiful environment for his clients, patients and friends.

The new office features a warm, welcoming lobby with his wonderful wife and associate, Marti Riggs on hand to assist you with your needs. They have a large therapy bay on site and two treatment rooms with state-of-the-art computer technology on hand to bring you the best care possible. Dr. Riggs is a certified chiropractor and has been practicing in Midland for over five years. You can learn more about Dr. Riggs at his website: http://aikidocriggs.chiroweb.com/

In addition to the new office space downstairs, Dr. Riggs is a 4th degree black belt in the art of Aikido. Though work is still in progress, classes will be starting at the new studio today! Monday through Thursday, from 7pm to 9pm and Friday nights from 7pm to 8:30pm, Riggs Sensei will be teaching the "art of harmony" or Aikido. He is a direct student of 8th degree black belt master Hiroshi Kato, Shihan. Kato Shihan is a direct student of the founder of aikido, and it is Midland's great honor to associated directly with Japan through such a well respected martial arts master.

Classes will be starting tonight. For those interested in coming by and seeing some aikido in action, you are invited to come by and watch. You can also go to Riggs Sensei's aikido website at http://members.cox.net/aikidoc1/ to learn more about the art and the values we teach and learn from this art.

Congratulations Dr. Riggs! And may your new office and studio serve you and all Midlanders well for many years to come!

What's all this wet stuff?

Ya know... the other day, I was outside mowing the yard and all of the sudden... this "wet stuff" started falling down and getting on me, the grass... everywhere! What is that stuff?

Listen, we live in a desert. A desert doesn't get rain, so it must be something else. Any thoughts? Anyways, glad I got the grass mowed. It was getting why the hell up there and my wife woulda killeded me if I hadn't mowed it before this wet stuff started to fall.

PS: Make it stop now! It was fun while it lasted... but I don't want to have to take a boat home tonight or anything... sheesh!

YOU FLATTER ME !!

Hey Gang!

Sorry I've been away... again! Work has been crazy! I've been busier than a one-armed paper hanger here lately, but I'm getting caught up, slowly but surely.

Now listen, here lately, I've been plastered with posts from people who are definitely not fans of George W. Bush... and that's okay! I'm all for feedback. Feedback is a good thing. I especially love the attention of monocelled individuals who buy into every editorial cartoon and liberally biased mass media production on the planet. You guys are my favorite!

Just for the record: if you think by gratuitously spamming my little blog here with quasi-humorous anonymous postings about what a "tool" I am and what a stooge our President is, well... you'd be barking up the wrong tree.

Guess what? I don't like everything Bush has done as President. I think he's made mistakes and has taken steps that I would advise against. But hey... we're all entitled to opinions. And I for one am of the opinion that he's better than Bill "Tubby" Clinton any day of the week.

So come on down! Give me your worst, I can take it! You got any more names for me? Any more sarcastic remarks? I'm a BIG fan of Sarcasm! Sarcasm is great fun!
