PAN AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2006

I leave on Thursday afternoon for Los Angeles to compete in the Pan American Championships.

I am competing in the Brown Belt Pena / Featherweight division, as well as the open weight / Absolute division.

The training has been good and I thank the team for all the support.

I'm hoping to have the following conversation in the LAX airport on Monday. . .

TSA Agent: Sir, would you step through the metal detector?
*Walks through the detector*

*BEEP!*
TSA Agent: Sir, would you mind removing that very large medal that's hanging around your neck?

Donald: Oh, this? No problem . . .
