"You're gonna lively up yourself cause I said so"
Bob Marley
It was cold wet and rainy in December and and social media made me ball like a baby. Left to my own devices I am a sap. While You Were Sleeping still really gets to me. It is, at bottom, a holiday film. As is Die Hard.
When something unspeakably awful happens and the social media landscape explodes I just going hollow.
That was Sandy Hook.
Made it through holidays though not without stunning dysfunction. New schedule/new firm brings regular morning disconnect, getting up wondering what I've wrought. Phone keeps ringing and emails keep coming the ebb and flow of commerce unabated. Appears that worked. Listen to yourself, have you not learned that by now ?
Staying fit but has required adjustment. First and foremost, must dial back alcohol consumption. That ain't helping no one, quite to the contrary. Yoga practice has suffered. Fix this. Training has evolved to include a couple of 20 minute double (24kg) sessions with 1:1 work/rest ratio. All logged on fito @dbt1959 if the three people who read this give a shit.
Doubles on the minute, it is amazing how much one can sweat in 20 minutes. Double 24's are no joke, that's 106 you are throwing around there . . . I am getting large. March 1, double 32kg clean and press just to make sure I can still do it. I can.
Listening to a shit ton of Ryan Adams. This one is good.

Crazy like a rocket when you're coming through my radio.
Super Bowl but no parade. Day of was 49er inspired group session. Both older and larger by a wide margin. Frequently throwing twice the weight of anyone, ct gently chiding me to keep right foot from wandering. At the top of the Lyon St. steps on a gorgeous day cleaning and cleaning and squatting twin 24's. Boom.
Slowing mid-feb . Build the roll back.
3/2 now and roll built back. Outstanding work coming in that'll keep folks (primarily me) very busy for next few months while long-term projects take shape. A new focus on marketing (i.e. eating and drinking with people) is paying off. No regrets. People at old firm behaving like idiots. I was a good soldier and was prepared to maintain all relationships, but not interested in maintaining relationships after being thrown under the bus by small people. Rear view and no real need to check it.
Yoga is down to twice a week and kbell thrashings 3-4x per week often in the back yard, in the dark. No meaningful weight gain and feeling very very strong.
Brigid "came out" 2/13. Utterly unsurprising and not a big deal for me, but a very big deal for her. Lighter, tight with her brother.
Go Bob.
Go me.
