What I’m listening… Continue reading Where I listen & get weird

Apparently, it’s a new “Pepper X”. My kids claim pepperoni is way too spicy. Why do they care about hot peppers? I know late-night… Continue reading Where I ponder why I’m pondering what I’m pondering
Where I wonder where the time goes as I break out of a rut
The plan was straight-forward: I’d ensure that I have enough time, on the weekday mornings mornings, to do all of the things I need to do1 and get a bare-bones work out2 in. Even if workout plans for the whole day fall apart, the theory was, I, at least, started the day with more pull-ups… Continue reading Where I wonder where the time goes as I break out of a rut
