"EXCELLENCE knows NO age."

…

(--First Lieutenant Martin Pascal, 'Down Periscope')

ME (SEMI-sarcastically): "Oh, gee.  Now I've gone and done it--RUINED my career."
(--Lieutenant-Commander Tom Dodge, 'Down Periscope')
______________________________________________________________________________
… I said "SEMI-sarcastically", because I--hopefully TEMPORARILY--halted/PAUSED my once-"BLOSSOMING"/PROMISING career as a "Technical Engineer" for a BIG-TIME Petroleum-Distributor.
ALAS!  That was THEN, and this is NOW.
______________________________________________________________________________
… The CIRCUMSTANCES, CONDITIONS, CHARACTERS, SETTING & "PROPS" in/of my LIFE ALL now DIFFER.
''C'est la vie.''
I must ACCLIMATE to my "NEW LIFE".

(… Yet ANOTHER film-TITLE that ACCURATELY describes/summarizes/symbolizes my ONGOING "battle" would be
'Adaptation'.)
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
As the COMMON saying goes:
"When one door CLOSES, another one OPENS."
(… I shaN'T mention my "laundry-list" of OUTSTANDING accomplishments, goals & projects, 'cuz it'll just SADDEN me to recall my "INFINITE" missed OPPORTUNITIES.  Thus, I'll JUST focus on my CURRENT "work":

-- I--STILL--TEACH a KIDS' martial arts class.  NOW, I just focus almost ENTIRELY on 'Jujitsu' & wrestling.  ( … I am GREAT w/ KIDS!)

-- I operate a MATH-Tutoting Service.
(… EVERYONE has his/her SPECIALTY/"area of EXPERTISE",  MINE's NUMBERS.)

-- My--fairly--NEW house "gives me" PLENTY of ROOM to host MANY, FREQUENT parties.
(… I am VERY/QUITE social.)
(… "ALL work & NO play makes Jack a DULL boy."--'The Shining')
_____________________________________________________________________________
… DESPITE its being a FANTASTIC film, its TITLE would be GROSSLY IN-accurate & rather frustrating/disheartening/fruitless for OTHERS to realize that NO ONE … CAN … do what I do.
(… I am thinking of the GREAT movie,
'The IMITATION Game'.)

"Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine."
(… WELL-SAID, Mr. Turing!  --'The Imitation Game')
______________________________________________________________________________
…
In MEMORY of my youngER days/years, I'll act A BIT "sophomoric".
(… OOO, THAT's a "MATURE" word!)

...
"Well, I'M polymerized tree-sap, & YOU'RE an inorganic adhesive.  Thus, whatever VERBAL-projectile YOU launch in MY general-direction is REFLECTED-OFF of ME, RETURNED on its ORIGINAL trajectory & adheres to YOU."
(--Dr. Sheldon Cooper, 'The Big Bang Theory')
____________________________________________________________________________
… To CONTINUE with the "SMART people's ACTING juvenile"-theme,
my CURRENT housemate--who's SLIGHTLY oldER than I AND our high school's SALUTATORIAN--remarked:
"Welcome to the '30-Club'.  It's ALL puppies & rainbows & kittens from here."
_____________________________________________________________________________
… Even though I am NOT a BIG fan of ANY of the THREE stated "symbols"/"markings" of the "30-Club", I'll put my OPTIMISTIC/POSITIVE "spin" on 'em.
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
How APPROPRIATE that I watched the movie--'300'--this afternoon.
(… I am a WARRIOR/"BEAST".  I'd do ANYTHING to "DEFEAT" the almighty Greeks!)

(… 'Cuz of my TURKISH-heritage)

BRILLIANT/APPROPRIATE saying:
"NEVER trust the GREEKS, EVEN when bearing GIFTS" … like TURKISH 'yogurt'!


P.S. DESPITE their "WHINING & BITCHING", 'twas the (medieval, NOMADIC) Turks--NOT the Greeks--who FIRST created, ate & used the word--AND substance--'yogurt'
_____________________________________________________________________________
… P.P.S. The word--"yogurt"--is PRONOUNCED in Turkish as

'YOH-uhrt',

'cuz of the 'YOO-mah-SHAHK gheh' ((PHONETIC Turkish for 'SOFT (SILENT) g'.))

…
On THIS DATE (April 8th) in WORLD-history:

1730 -- The FIRST Jewish congregation form a synagogue--in AMERICA ("Shearith Israel, NYC").
(… "You're NOT even fuckin' JEWISH!"--The DUDE, 'The Big Lebowski')
1789 -- The FIRST meeting of the "U.S. House of Representatives" was held.
(… So, they've had "their HEADS lodged FIRMLY up their (SO VERY IGNORANT & "MESSY") ASSES" for ~226 years!)
1796 -- Carl Friedrich Gauss PROVED the "Quadratic Reciprocity Law".
(… Coincidence?  I think NOT!)
1974 -- "Hammerin' Hank" Aaron hits his 715th CAREER home run … to break Babe Ruth's RECORD.
(… I love ALL SPORTS.)
1985 -- THE "Turkish DELIGHT" (I) was BORN.
(… Not to be TOO "HAUGHTY", but I am rather … AMAZING.)



...

"I happen to dress … by … MOOD."

…
"THIS is … 'Morning-Mist'."
(--George, 'Seinfeld')

I slept VERY "SOUNDLY" last night (I'm not sure … WHY!).

(… Does THAT mean/indicate I'm SLEEPING MORE/BETTER… or JUST WORRYING … LESS?!)
_______________________________________________________________________________
… In ACTUALITY,
I JUST FOUND-OUT--at ~8:57 am--that my "tutEE" was swingin' by for some LAST-MINUTE "MATH-help", pending her ARRIVAL--'a la MI case'--at ~9:30 am.
We "covered" some APPLICATIONS of PI.
So, I wore my shirt that shows the message:

"Come to the MATH-team.  We have "first-QUENCHING drinks
(PI-symbol)."
________________________________________________________________________________
… "MORE people WILL come, if they think we have 'PUNCH & PIE'!"
(--Eric Cartman, 'South Park'
(… "PIE" was a HOMOPHONE for "pie"/"pi".)
_____________________________________________________________________________
… Speaking of "punch & pie", I'm ALL-ABOUT hosting PARTIES!
(… I've GOTTA socialize MORE … for MY OWN "psychological-STABILITY")
________________________________________________________________________________
…
So, I had--yet another--GREAT "UPPER body"-workout today!
My trainer COMPLIMENTED my "GREAT control" & "DEFINITELY IMPROVING strength".
He evenquoted 'Swingers' by stating--to ME:
"You're so 'MONEY' right now.  You doN'T even KNOW … how 'MONEY' you are!"
MY response: "Pun IN-tended?"
______________________________________________________________________________
… Speaking of 'Swingers', WHAT I would GIVE for
"some BEAUTIFUL-BABIES"!



...

SOME of my … HOME-"work":

…
Although I LACK a "PAYING-occupation", I STILL provide a NUMBER of "SERVICES" …
'para GRATIS', … 'cuz I doN'T exactly … NEED 'el DINERO'.

NONETHELESS, I feel "I OWE IT to 'em" … "out of the GOODNESS of my HEART".
_____________________________________________________________________________
… 1) I operate a (MATH-) Tutoring Service.  It's going VERY WELL!  (… "Knock on wood.")
(… My "tutEE" takes her BIG/ULTIMATE TEST tomorrow--TUESDAY.)
2) I "co-TEACH" a "MARTIAL ARTS"-class ~TWICE-per-month.
(… I VIEW a KIDS'-class EVERY Thursday AND Saturday.  But, I "CHIME-IN" with MY--RESPECTED/appreciated--remarks "from the peanut-gallery" EVERY CLASS.)
3) I "run" & pay FOR … MY OWN "healthcare-service" … 24 hours-a-DAY, 168-hours-a-WEEK, 672 to 720/744-hours-a-MONTH, 8760 to 8784 hours-a-YEAR.
(… DEPENDING ON the # of DAYS WITHIN the MONTH & ON whether it's a "Leap-year")
____________________________________________________________________________
...
This morning I HAD TO conduct interviews for TWO positions/jobs.
(… My PREVIOUS employEES--one NURSE & one CAREGIVER desperately/inexplicably tried to CONCEAL their MARRIAGE … to EACH OTHER!
Usually I wouldN'T CARE.  But, the factS that they TRIED to "HIDE it" from me (WHY?!) REALLY upset me!
(… "It's the PRINCIPLE!"--me)
_____________________________________________________________________________
… PLUS, I do MANY, VARIOUS exercises … @ MY HUMBLE ABODE:
-- EVERY evening, I do AT LEAST 50 SQUATS along the shower-rail 'en MI banyo'.
-- I've done 30 "FULL sit-ups" three DIFFERENT/SEPARATE days.
-- I did 20 "push-ups" TWICE, … before my NURSE told me NOT to do 'em.
…
(… Okay, FINE!  Change "MANY" to "a FEW".)
_____________________________________________________________________________
… PLUS, I practice/DEMONSTRATE MY (designed) 'jiujitsu'-techniques … a COUPLE days a month.
____________________________________________________________________________
… That's just my PHYSICAL-"work".
(… NEED I remind y'ALL that I have a (SEVERE) BRAIN-/MENTAL-/NEUROLOGICAL-injury?!)
(… Yet, I shall NOT let THAT "STOP me" from accomplishing SOME of my GOALS.)



...

"ALWAYS account for 'variable-change'."

… (--Cole Williams, '21')

LIFE is about CHOICES.
I COULD have JUST "rested on my laurels", NOT tried to "BETTER/IMPROVE myself" & "watched life PASS ME BY".
But, I DECIDED to "TAKE a STAND"--LITERALLY--& "FIGHT BACK"--METAPHORICALLY/FIGURATIVELY, & I thought: 
"I shall NOT be DENIED!"
_____________________________________________________
…
I APOLOGIZE, Jedi-Master Yoda, but we/I canNOT IMPROVE withOUT first having a few (In MY case "INFINITE") (… Yet ANOTHER variation-level of/for "INFINITE") setbacks/neuronic-MIS-firings/failings/MIS-"steps" (Pun IN-tended.).

We/Y'ALL/I/, then, LEARN from said MISTAKES, & APPLY any/ALL acquired KNOWLEDGE to FUTURE-"trials".
____________________________________________________
…
"The only thing WORSE than a LOSER is someone who won't ADMIT he played BADLY."
(--Micky Rosa, '21)

We ALL make MISTAKES.  
(… In MY UN-fortunate "situation", I make an "INFINITE" # of TIME-wise and/or NERVE-strength ERRORS.)
But, we MUST "OWN up"/ADMIT our MIS-calculations … "like a MAN"!

"Yesterday is HISTORY.  
Tomorrow is a MYSTERY."
(--Random gambler, '21')

((… 1) I must NOT "dwell on"/mourn MY mistakes of the PAST.
2) TRY to PLAN for a promising FUTURE.
3) Live for TODAY.
"Make the MOST OF the PRESENT.))

…
I went to my buddy's parents' house for dinner.
I've ALWAYS been VERY NICE to HIS 2 year-old niece.
However, TONIGHT I did NOT plan on her EMPHATICALLY "returning the favor".
(… She gave me THREE SEPARATE, LONG hugs … for pictures … & THREE stickers.)
___________________________________________________
… I also ATE--via MOUTH--a LOVELY dinner of SEVEN bites of "TWICE-baked potatoes" & 11 bites of this "lobster, crabmeat and spinach casserole".

"P-A-R-T-Y (WHY?) 'Cuz I've GOTTA!" (SATURDAY NIGHT)

…
(ACTUALLY, I just DID.)
(--Stanley Ipkis, 'The Mask')

Being the NERD I am, I did some MATH as I waited for my guests to arrive.

(1^2 x 3) divided by 4 + 5 - 6 =
...
-1/4

(… "I can't EXPLAIN I just SEE it!"
(--Stanley, 'Swordfish')

(… Only I "SEE" QUANTITATIVELY not COMPUTER-GRAPHICALLY.)
________________________________________________________________________________
…
P.S. That/MY MATH-problem ALSO "illustrates" the NECESSITY of the PRINCIPLE of
"Order of Operations".
________________________________________________________________________________
… OR, as I like to JOKE about SAID "principle":
"Get me to use my 'OOO!"
… "That's what SHE said."
("OOO" = "Order Of Operations")
_______________________________________________________________________________
…
AAAHHH!
My party was TOO "BITCHIN'" last night!

"DIRTY-THIRTY!"


...

… (SIGH) "DUTY calls."

…
My TWO 'Sempai' ('Sejm-PIY') (Japanese for 'ASSISTANT martial arts instructor) had EMERGENCY-"firefighter-stuff" to do--for their JOBS.
(… They're both firemen--like their father, my PROFESSOR.  …
They're BROTHERS.)
Ergo--Thus--Consequently--Therefore--So, I merely WATCHED the END of the KIDS' class & the BEGINNING of the ADULTS' class LATE this morning.
My Professor noted that PERHAPS I could CO-TEACH my technique on THURSDAY … when I'm 30.
(… Just for FUN, I'm gonna devise a SECOND 'jujitsu'-technique by then.
… Cue the SINISTER-laugh.)
______________________________________________________________________________
….
As the BLOG-topic INDICATES, I MUST "prepare" 'por mi FIESTA'.
(… I'll START by donning my "NOW It's a PARTY"-shirt … and put on a pair of shorts … I GUESS.)
(… SIGH)



...

… SHOOT-SKEE! I "DROPPED the (proverbial) BALL"!

…
Since I am HOSTING a BIT of a "par-TAY" this evening,
I attempted to SLEEP & "RE-charge my battery" to "PREPARE for the FESTIVITIES of my 30th birthday "SHENANIGANS"!

ALAS, I couldN'T sleep!
But, I FEEL ENERGETIC & EXCITED to see folks!

Ergo, I MAY or may NOT blog a FEW DIFFERENT times TODAY!

(… I'd do this, 'cuz my blogging HAS TO match/correspond/relate with/to the blog-TOPIC.


...

Let's Learn a Lot of Life-Lessons!

…
"Alliteration aside."
(--Peter LaFleur, 'Dodgeball')

In honor of "Good Friday",
(… Is THAT today's HOLIDAY?!  … As a NON-religious man, I--HONESTLY--doN'T know.)
let's ALL "pause & REFLECT upon" our--RESPECTIVE--"DOs & DON'Ts":

1. Always maintain a good sense of humor.
2. Never be too good to start at the bottom.
3. Exercise every single day, even when you don't feel like it.
4. Don't spend more money than you make.
5. Drink orange juice every day.
6. Love at first sight is not a fable.
7. Having a bad job is better than having no job at all.
8. Eat around the mold; don't go wasting food.
9. Your family is the most precious thing you will ever have in life.
10. Eat sausage every day - it worked for me.
11. Your life is delicate, and if you neglect yourself, you'll spoil. That's what cheese taught me.
12. Don't ever be afraid to be your true self.
13. Everyone has too many clothes. Wear what you have and quit buying more.
14. You must be able to forgive, even if it's difficult to do.
15. Save your money now and spend it later.
16. Love is not always easy; sometimes you have to work at it.
17. Find something comical in every single situation.
18. If you're faced with a problem, don't delay trying to figure it out. But if there's no way to figure it out, you have to forget about it.
19. Make sure you're doing what you love; don't be afraid to follow those dreams you have for yourself.
20. Education is important, but not necessary. Life can be an education in itself.
21. Explore your world and stay curious.
22. Try not to take yourself so seriously.
23. My full name is William Bradford James Anderson, and my initials always remind me to ask myself, "Why be just anybody?"
24. Have common sense. Think about the most reasonable answer to every situation. If you don't have common sense, you're a bust.
25. Life is a gift that you must unwrap. It's up to you to determine if what's inside will lead you to happiness or dismay. You have the power to make that decision for yourself.

I can ESPECIALLY "connect" to 

#s 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24 & 25.

(… Ergo, 'tis a GREAT list of "LIFE-checks" to be 

PSYCHOLOGICALLY-"sound"/-stable.)

(… What he said!)

____________________________________________________

…
So, while watching 'X-Men: The Last Stand', I agreed with Professor Xavier on a FEW quotes that pertained to ME.

(Regarding whether I would WALLOW in SELF-pity OR strive for continued SELF-improvement--SOMETIMES at the EXPENSE of those for whom I CARE.) 
Professor X to Wolverine: "I had a TERRIBLE choice to make!
I chose the LESSER of two EVILS."

Professor X to a YOUNG Jean Grey (ME): "You are more POWERFUL than you can IMAGINE.
…
The question IS: Will YOU control IT, or will IT control YOU?"

_____________________________________________________
… I shaN'T be a "SLAVE" to my EMOTIONS/PSYCHE!
I'm ALMOST positive that "slavery" was ABOLISHED in … EVERYWHERE.
(… AAAHHH, sarcasm … of the LITERAL-interpretation … is ironically/strangely HILARIOUS!)
_____________________________________________________
…

"You don't wrestle because it's easy, you wrestle because it's 

hard. I don't do astrophysics because it's easy, I do it, 

because it's hard."

(--FORMER Harvard-wrestler & CURRENT astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson)
(… Only substitute "NEUROLOGICALLY/PSYCHOLOGICALLY & PHYSICALLY rehabilitate" for "wrestle".)
(… Although, BOTH "word-/phrase-options" would apply to/for ME.)
(… ALSO, use "REHABILITATE" rather than "astrophysics".)
_____________________________________________________
ALAS!
(SIGH)
"Apparently, LIFE is NOT a 'wish-GRANTING factory'.
…
"Some 'INFINITIES' are BIGGER than OTHERS.
…
So, there are DIFFERENT levels of 'INFINITY'."
(--CANCEROUS Hazel, 'The Fault in Our Stars')

(… Mathematically-speaking, that's … DEEP.)

((… 'Por ejemplo'(--Spanish for 'For example'):
I've waited "INFINITELY"-LONG for my ASSORTED nerve-damage to RECUPERATE.
CONVERSELY, I have been "INFINITELY" longing/yearning for FEMALE-companionship.))

…
"I always thought I'd be SPECIAL--that I'd be REMEMBERED."
(--CANCEROUS Gus, 'The Fault in Our Stars')


(… This HEARTWARMING/DRAMATIC film REALLY makes me consider:
Having CANCER is FAR-WORSE than having a "Traumatic Brain-Injury"!
A "T.B.I." is MERELY an "INJURY"!  While "cancer" is a TERMINAL … DISEASE!)

_____________________________________________________
… Although, I am VERY/QUITE determined to be one of the VERY FEW patients to FULLY-RECOVER/-REHABILITATE from a SERIOUSLY "Traumatic Brain-Injury".
(… "EAT IT", legs!

_____________________________________________________

In CONCLUSION, 

it (METAPHORICALLY) "PAINS me" to QUOTE this "little TURD", but it's CERTAINLY a VALID/APPLICABLE point:

"It's how you 'RISE' from a 'FALL' that TRULY defines you as a man."

(--Justin Bieber)

(… Albeit, said "TURD" said this after he was VERY COMICALLY "roasted" on 'Comedy Central'.)

…

My "SECOND-HOME":

…
My "SWCOND-home" is--ESSENTIALLY/METAPHORICALLY--my "MARTIAL ARTS"-dojo.  I just feel so COMFORTABLE, KNOWLEDGABLE & WELL-RESPECTED there.
(… Yes, I DO usually attend/teach the KIDS' class.
… Yes, I AM very RELAXED around KIDS.
A female-friend to ME: "Well, A.J., THAT's 'cuz you have the MATURITY of … a CHILD!"
My IMMEDIATE response: "'It takes ONE to know ONE!'
… No, THAT's an ADMISSION of my SOPHOMORIC-attitude toward LIFE.
How 'bout, 'I know YOU are, but what am I?!'"
______________________________________________________________________________

So, I WELCOMED a PLEASANT (SURPRISE-)visitor EARLY this morning (ACTUALLY, it was at ~8:30 am E.S.T), when my MATH-tutEE" sought some "LAST-minute" reviewing before her BIG TEST 'man(tilde)ana por la man(tilde)ana'.
After she ACED 14 out of the 17 NEW MULTI-step problems/questions I'd DEVISED (14/17 = ~82.35%), I told her, "GODSPEED, RELAX & just have CONFIDENCE!"
______________________________________________________________________________
…
So, this LATE afternoon"/"PREevening"(--Sheldon Cooper, 'The Big Bang Theory') (… "PRE-evening"), I attended the KIDS' class at my "MARTIAL ARTS"-dojo.
Granted, I was SUPPOSED TO merely VIEW the (KIDS') class.
But, … my "martial arts"-"Professor" told me that he'd like me to CO-teach my NEW technique.
_____________________________________________________________________________
… ANOTHER "But",
… due to an UNCHARACTERISTICALLY-SMALL class (I'm GUESSING it's 'cuz of the "holiday-weekend".), "Professor" asked me to "CO-teach" the GREAT technique to BOTH the KIDS' & ADULTS' classes THIS Saturday.
THUS, class began AND concluded a TAD EARLY.
_______________________________________________________________________________
…
"TANGENT"!
(… NO, I am NOT referring to the MATHEMATICAL-term.)
(… Am I?!  … ?!)
As I brushed my teeth this morning, I dropped the tube of toothpaste on the floor.  I was SHIFTING the tube in my lap, as I REACHED for some floss.
((… Yes, you GROTESQUE WEIRDOS, y'all COULD say that I "dropped the (TOOTH-)soap".)
On the BRIGHT side, I leaned WAY OVER the ROGHT side of my MANUAL-wheelchair to pick up said paste 'de mis dinettes'.
(… YAY for my IMPROVING flexibility!
… Or, is it my UNBELIEVABLE understanding & application of TRIGONOMETRY?!)
______________________________________________________________________________
…
If the POPULAR saying, "'HOME' is where the HEART is", is CORRECT,
then HOW the HELL was my "Ivy League"-collegiate education so WRONG?!
(… According to THAT implication/reasoning, I LIVE … INSIDE my LEGS!)  
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
I REALLY DO … ENJOY "MARTIAL ARTS" class!
(… Even though I--SADLY, TEMPORARILY--canNOT "FULLY-participate" in the "SELF-defense".)
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
STRANGELY/UN-fortunately,
I get IGNORED MORE by my EMPLOYEES at my ACTUAL home than by (YOUNG) 'Karateka'-CHILDREN--some of whom I doN'T even KNOW!
((… I'm GUESSING that the--WELCOME--RECOGNITION is PARTIALLY due to
… my WEARING my ("HEAVYWEIGHT") 'gi'-top (= 'Karate-UNIFORM') AND BLACK BELT.
(… "It's got my name on it.  It says 'RAYMOND'."--'Rain Man'))
(… No, seriously: 'Altan Javit Kaynatma' is CURSIVELY-written upon it.)



...

Since I had a GREAT day--for a CHANGE. I thought I'd try-out an ALIAS!

… G'evening, y'ALL!

I'm "I.P. Freelee".
(--SOPHOMORIC joke from my childhood.

(… I NEED … comedy/HUMOR!)
____________________________________________________________________________

… On a more SEMI-serious note, I DID "WALK"--SLOWLY yet STEADILY--EARLY this morning … PRIOR to on TWO SEPARATE occasions--''a mi 'JUAN' para'' "RELIEVE-myself"--via "#1" THEN "#2.
____________________________________________________________________________
… My REPEATED "WALKING" is DEFINITELY IMPROVING!
((… Thanks A LOT, "NeuroFit 360", for your WISE, INSIGHTFUL & INTUITIVE advice/tips on MY "weight-shifting" & "Baby-Steps"(--Dr. Leo Marvin, 'What About Bob?')!))
____________________________________________________________________________
…Speaking of MY improvements:
My "Math-tutEE" CORRECTED ONE of the 20 "MATH-TUTORING 'problems' that I DEVISED/DESIGNED.
(… So, YAY for HER!)
(… Reeelax, A.J.!  It was JUST a rather-GLARING "TYPO" & NOT a MIS-calculation!
YOUR "MATHEMATICAL-integrity" may EASE its nerves & "rest ASSURED")
Recognizing my INADVERTENT-misprint, SHE suggested, "You (I) did this LATE last night.  I'm sure you were REALLY tired!"
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
Speaking of "NEW 'identities'",
I interviewed a POTENTIALLY-new (SUNDAY-)"caregiver" this afternoon.
(… My SOON-to-be "FORMER" employEE HAD TO "quit", 'cuz he "NEEDED more SLEEP to balance TWO jobs AND (his) kids".)
The NEW "caregiver" seems VERY PROMISING!
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
My SPEECH-Therapist AGAIN exclaimed that my ENUNCIATION & TONGUE-movement/-control were "REALLY improving"!
