Thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself since I've already made some posts around the board.

My wife and I just became the proud parents of our first ball python. She's 5 months old (the snake, not the wife ) and loves being handled. I'm a former US Marine, current truck driver but studying to be a medical interpreter... learned spanish in the military. I've been a student of the martial arts for 20 years. I studied the LINE system in the Corps, kempo and have been a student and instructor of Nihon Goshin Aikido for the past 6 years. I'm also a member of the mod staff at Martial Talk, so if any of you are martial artists or interested in that feel free to check the site out.

I'm enjoying the site.
