When I got back from Great Adventure on Monday night, a Fedex package containing my SAP gloves was waiting at my door.

Yipee!

SAP gloves are made by Damascus of incredibly soft doeskin. About the knuckles, they're weighted with a few pounds of lead shot. So they pack a wallop. In addition to the force you put into throwing your fist, it's like swinging around a sock filled with ballbearings.

Sweet, huh?

Oddly, I seem to have ordered two pair. PunchPig is interested in the second pair. I couldn't think of a better home for them.

Also in the mail was my tax refund check from New York State. Just enough money to use to purchase the cage. And, hopefully, I'll have an occupant for the cage. Can't wait for that.

Life, as they say, is good.
