how cool is a kad woman martial arts expert?  you can really see the kind of physical shape elizabeth guidara is in in the pic. http://www.af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/223/Article/740887/female-air-force-officer-looks-to-take-on-marine-martial-arts-course.aspx and a great interview with her on the rambler, highly recommended.  She shows in the interview she has an overflow of brains, too. http://therambleradhd.podbean.com/e/episode-325-elizabeth-guidara/ === links to The Rambler (all the same episodes, just putting them all in case of link breakages and different phones): http://therambleradhd.podbean.com/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rambler/id1073467214?mt=2 https://soundcloud.com/therambleradhd https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ifrzrfn3tybmxongaj6bypbv3xm […]
