Friday morning I slept in. It was unintentional. I don’t know if I didn’t set the alarm clock properly, if it failed, or if I simply didn’t hear it. All I know is that I woke at 6:15 - an hour an a quarter later than I desired. No workout on Friday.
Sunday, mowed the lawn [...]

Roughly speaking, I’d divide what I saw into three categories. About ⅓ of [...]
I’m going to see the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater perform at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. These are the dances that will be performed. I have no idea, whatsoever, what to expect. My wife was a dancer in her younger years and through college. This is her thing. I, on the other hand, have never [...]
