"Millions of people and one little lie
Zillions of children whose spirits have all flown away
They're long gone

And its a long way out to Alice in Space
And its a long way out to Alice in Space
Its a long way out"
Alice In Space, Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams

Nice druggie reference counselor.  We missed the big moon Saturday, no chance.  In that storm
and all that ugly shit.  Above tweeted by Jeri Ryan, the uber-beautiful seven of nine, who overcame a sleazy scene to build her home.  Only second photo I've used that I did not take; it's a goodin'
Monday
Good work grind to distract from Saturday's B adventure.  Very raw and very tired.  In for Pradeep sixty minute sweatfest.  One of the can't chant white boys had the class before and had the room at about 90.  Pradeep's classes are so athletic it's about the last thing anyone needs.  But we get through and well.  At the end rolling onto the side and he goes into the think of the one you love in your life rap it's all I can do keep from breaking into tears. Then he breaks it to us that he will no longer be teaching Monday nights.  Bummer.  DO NOT replace with chanting white boy.
Tuesday
In early for kbells:
100 16kg swing warm up, 5 squat to pushpress, twin 20kg, 5 long cycle clean and press, twin 24, 1+1 32 clean & press x 2
10+10 sls with 10kg vipr overhead, arms straight and back
5/3 neutral grip pull ups 16lb assist
10+10 figure 8 to hold, 20 then 24.
3x.  Figure 8s fun, flashy move and had been a while.
Stop after 45 cause start feeling jacked up.  Realize that's three Kbell workouts in 4 days, thought about coming back for tgu swing fest, but just give it a rest old man.  No more until iron until Thursday; eat well  and yoga between now and then.
It's Stephen Sondheim's birthday.  He is 81, sharp as ever.
It's Amy's birthday too, we won't talk about how many.
Wednesday
Pradeep mid-day.  Starts out slow which means bring it later.  He did.  So we did, all good.  Very very good.
Today
Long day.  Horizontal rain on way to ferry leaves soaked.  Trying to dry.  
Tired and still spent from Saturday; can break into tears at the drop of a hat.  Leave at 5:30.

Walked out the west side of the building; if I'd gone out the east I woulda headed straight for the boat and 5:45.  No, go do something for some time so you can do yoga friday and kbells Saturday before that ugly site visit at 1:00.
Throw it down for 30 min.
15/15 seven rep pace with 16kg sport bell, x 60.
Very good snatch session, sport bell handles way easier on middle aged mitts that the RKC bells that have been thrashed by ignorant gym use. 
Trainer SR right in back of me with client ten years younger (than me), pointing out benefits of kbell work on posterior chain as my white ass moves back an forth.  Client says, "we aren't going to do that are we ?"  SR looks a little chagrined, "not yet."
Lady it's a choice.  You can choose strength or weakness.  But you gotta choose it.  Once you do, she can help you, big time.  You don't choose strength, then it's entropy.  Weakness.  You chose it, it won't be her fault.

Somethings you don't get to choose, they just happen.  So when you get to pick, choose wisely.

It's a long way out . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKTJpEujVHo
