A sonnet to...mollusks
Dismayed by comfort, Unrelieved by Joy,
yet knowing somehow pain, as well, is life,
Craving then, the things that will annoy,
Reduce, discord, corrupt, hold up to strife.

Eve'ning of the year. Ochers
creep over yards, avenues.
wildlife: forage further

Bak to the gym, after what was essentially a 7 month layoff.
The numbers were sad :(
One hand dumbell snatch, (te he) which is a great test of overall strength, 100 down fronm 150

This occurred to me while I was dancing samba last Friday night at Sherwood. It got me thinking about different kinds of hip movement, and the similarities between bellydancing and ( Read more... ) -

It's important to realize that most of the things you have learned about reality are actually someone else's preconceived notions, and are probably wrong. Hopefully, if you embrace this notion furiously enough it will become wrong too. -

Personal Record! And perhaps a kind of fluke...
I bench pressed 360 today! (Technically it was an incline press) My form was Good but the acceleration at the top was a might glacial. Still, I locked it out. After a few miniutes and a drink of water I did it again. I have not been in the gym as often as even the most dilettante rat would call regularly, and yet...
We'll see if I can do it next
