There is this man who sits near me at work. I don’t know him. He’s not on my team. Simply by happenstance we sit within earshot of each other. He talks - a lot - on all sorts of topics. Sometimes he sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. Most times, it seems, he’s [...]
Let’s start by remembering a workout a week ago. I did Front Squats and Bench Press. I remember around my fourth or fifth set of presses, the oldies station they play in the weight room played Jim Croce’s Operator.

Operator, oh could you help me place this call…

<sarcasm>Excellent</sarcasm> This isn’t what I’d call ideal bench pressing [...]
Monday Morning
My allergies were terrible this past weekend. I know when this happens a sinus infection is likely right around the corner. For some reason I’m particularly susceptible to sinisitis, and when my allergies get bad and my head fills with snot, it seems that’s an invitation for the infection to set in.
On Monday morning [...]

As many of you know, my son is allergic - severely, deathly allergic - to eggs. If the shells are intact, there’s no problem, but even the most minuscule cross-contamination of actual egg with his food is super bad news. Certainly no scrambled eggs for breakfast, no bread nor cake made with eggs, nothing.
Even the [...]
Friday’s Lost Tooth
Our daughter lost her second tooth on Friday. Her two bottom front teeth are now missing. Her brother kicked out the first one a couple weeks ago. This one came out in a more natural manner. She was so proud.
Saturday’s Pliés/Squats
Saturday was a very busy day. The day started with a predictable visit [...]
Thought to try some Sumo Deadlift High Pulls today. Higher reps (8×10), lighter weight (95#) just to see how things would hold up. I’ll wait until I wake up tomorrow morning for the final verdict, but for now everything seems to be solid. That’s good news.

I left my cell phone at home today. I plugged it in to charge last night and completely forgot about it this morning. I’m a little bummed about that.
As I was getting out of my car this morning, in the parking garage at work, I noticed a coworker had just pulled in and parked right [...]
