Interesting insights, guys! I personally feel that having an official language in the USA would be a great step forward. It's not that one language is better than others, but Americans should be able to communicate and share ideas easily. When we don't understand each other, it creates isolated groups.

I've written one article on parkour, geared towards women, and I'm in the process of publishing another :) I love writing about it, and there are too few resources out there for the amount of interest in the discipline!

You should post a link to the parkour article. I'd love to read it and I'd bet others would too. I was unfamiliar with parkour prior to cW introducing me to it. He writes a bit about it here. Sounds like it would bring out the child in you. I can recall being a kid and not wanting to touch the ground because we were pretending it was lava ;-)

That's a great article! Yeah, parkour definitely gives you a feeling like nothing else, and the community is really fun-loving and energetic! I did the same thing when I was a kid. :) It's great to be able to stay in touch with that side of yourself, and parkour is a perfect way to do that! I'm going to submit a post to my parkour article now. Hope you enjoy it!
