Chess Boxing

This is a game for me. I used to be a reasonable chess player (and could be again with a little practice). I’m in decent shape and a reasonable fighter. My short arms make me not an ideal boxer, but I’m pretty quick and have good footwork. I can’t out-fight everybody and I can’t checkmate everybody. But I would think there are few who could beat me in both. I might look into this…see if anybody’s doing this in STL.

Bud Light Lime

My wife is a fan of the lime. She loves margaritas, puts lime in her Corona, and takes her water with a slice of lime (never lemon). She recently saw an ad for Bud Light Lime (pdf) and thought she’d want to try it. Thursday, on my way home from work, I stopped at the supermarket and picked up a six-pack. After the kids went to bed, we each opened a bottle and took a few sips.

This tastes like a girly drink.

Yep

This is pretty much crap.

4 bottles of Bud Light Lime now sit in our fridge, unconsumed and unwanted.

Take as much time as you need between reps, but don’t put the bar down.

The only reason to quit is falling on your face and having the spotter deadlift the weight from your head.

My load today was 240#

It was just as difficult today as it was last time I tried it, and it felt just as good at the end to know I had done it.
