Cooler, wet weather is quite unusual for this time of the year. If the rain keeps up, I may have to mow the lawn a few more times this year. Usually, by the time September rolls around, the grass is usually too scortched from the August sun to do much growing. This year, I heard some techniques for mowing that keeps the grass from getting scortched as much. That, added with the rain means the growing season will be a little longer. At least my dad's flowers are doing well. He usually has to water them every few days, and it looks like this week he will be getting a break!
After I ran some errands yesterday, I went to the library and checked out a few books. I've always been interested in Aikido, Judo, and Chi because they seem... cool looking, especially when I'm not the one being thrown over a shoulder. Whatever the reason, I've grabbed a beginners book on Tai-Chi and should be a grand master by this time tomorrow.
Wherever I go, I can now safely say, "Evildoers beware!"

Go for it! I think Aikido and Tai Chi would be something you would really enjoy, and Judo too, though that's a lot more aggressive. It's vaguely like wrestling in that it's grappling, but you need to be pretty aggressive doing the moves.
Aikido is less aggressive, and has pretty obvious self defense applications. Tai Chi is pretty laid back, but it is definitely just as complex and difficult as the other martial arts. It's just that its self defense applications are pretty well buried.
I'm be into Karate and Judo since that matches with my violent nature! But you, the gentler and kinder McConnell, would probably prefer something where winning doesn't involve punching someone out! :^)
Ah... Already... after one day I have gained great understanding of martial arts. I'm not grand master yet - that's tomorrow.
Karate, Tai-Chi, Judo... It's all the same when used by me! (They all look like a jumbled mess)
