Sunday
Ten hours of work; at least games are on while I write a brief. No exercise. It's a damn good brief.

Sucking coffee listening to John Prine blowing the hell out of Mexican Home, skimming across the Bay.

Listen to more John Prine at Wolfgang's Vault.

That is so fucking good.

Friday
Why is it I think my back is going to crater on deadlifts and swings.  I wake up feeling awesome.
Felt like a very long day but it really wasn't. To Jon Isaacs 90 min class subbing for Pradeep. Slow. Is. Hard.
Stay away late to pick up Ian.  Cruisin the Vault in Marin Brewing Co., find Rick Derringer from 1981 and cast of thousands benefit.  Last two, Rick and Dr. John with RD just blowing it out on Right Place Wrong Time, then into Hang On Sloopy.  Single beer.

Saturday
All day, plowing through bank docs, sending out what I hope are incisive emails to the rest of the team; feed back positive.  It's getting later and later and it's cold outside and last email is sent in the dark.
Not feeling it, go upstairs, B is listening to Bowie on the bed.  I curl up next to him, he puts his head on me knee and gets heavy.  Force it up, stream Derringer all stars during @giryagirl simple six workout:
Right
5 one hand swing
5 clean and press, long cycle
5 squats, bell in rack
5 snatches
Left
repeat above
TGU
x 5 with 24kg.
hit stride during circuit 3; switch to Little Feat, heavy heavy slide to kick off Rock 'n Roll Dr.  B bounces back in the door.  He loves Lowell.  Arms flailing wildly and heavy breathing he's overtaken, and bed dancing.  Last three circuits just pound 'em out.
Yoga with B tomorrow.

One of the best damn shuffles ever . . .
