GYM LIFE CHRONICLE pt 2

Me asking gym strongman: What workout program do you follow? Strongman: Gives five minutes on how to cycle off and on steroids. Me: Why do I ask anyone anything?

GYM LIFE CHRONICLE

Gym life people, workout people, come in varying sizes and shapes, but one thing they all have in common, they show up. Call it obsession, habit, or nothing better to do, but gym life is the life of choice for people determined to live their best. I saw an endorsement of gym life from a […]

SILENCE IS GOLDEN, THEN IT’S NOT

Now and then I’ve had to speak up. It started when I got married. Up until then I was a wallflower, a gentle person of meek disposition, always looking for others to give credit to. You know, that kind of guy. Then I got married in a downpour so loud I could barely hear the […]

CHOOSING CHOICE: THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU

Choosing choice is as American as America gets. From remembering to mind your own business, to ‘Don’t Tread On Me,’ we are a nation of individuals. And because we come from all points of the compass, not everyone agrees with everyone else. One thing we practice, and need more, is agreeing about the freedom of […]

PROMOTE AMERICAN FUTURE WITH AN AXE

Without getting into the details, I’ve somehow collected about fifteen axes. I’ve become an axe repository. Along with axes for wood, I’ve found six guitars around the house. I claim one. ‘Why the axes,’ I wonder when I add them all up. Then it came to me. America was built with an axe of one […]

WORKOUT MESSAGES, SECRET MEANINGS

The best workout advice ever given? “Listen to your body.” This is especially true as we age, at least for those who believe in aging. More likely ‘listen to your body’ is the best excuse for no workout. “I can’t lift today. I listened to my body and it said drink beer and eat trash.” […]

The BBC reports, “HPV vaccine linked to ‘dramatic’ drop in cervical disease.” The next research I want to see is a […]

HOME DECORATING, HGTV GYM RAT VERSION

For a charming throwback look, start with the basics. The image above is one never seen on HGTV. Not on the Property Brothers, Love It Or List It, or Rehab Addict. The most likely place to find this sort of furniture? Fixer Upper with Chip and Joanna. But what would they do with it?

HOW PERSONALITY AFFECTS HPV16 GYM COMMUNICATION

I heard a story about a man from a good communication source: My kid told me an older man at my gym with an outgoing personality told him he had the same thing I had, meaning hpv16 neck cancer, throat cancer, tongue cancer, he wasn’t specific but it was cancer in the body part between […]

TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN PORTLAND OREGON

Today’s the day, Tiny Beautiful Things day, at Portland Center Stage at the Armory. Truth is it could be any play and I’d still go. PCS used to be the go-to stage in Portland for my mother in law and my wife. After she shuffled off this mortal coil, I picked up the slack. Now […]
