"This machine stamps out hate and forces it to surrender."

"Here's to the cheshire, here's to the cheese . . ."

"Green and yeller, green and yeller, mother be quick, I'm gonna be sick and lay me down to die . . ."

"I learned that murderers die for their crimes, even if we make a mistake sometimes . . ."

"They never had such a supper in their life while the little one's chewed on the boneso, boneso . . . "

RIP Pete; we'll never stop listening.

"Making something out of nothing with a scratch and our hope
With two old guitars like a shovel and a rope"

Just finished the 11th day of Dan John's 10,000 swing program.  The 24kg is flying up like a (iron) balloon, but he says the worm turns at day 12 which is tomorrow, after the 8:30 settlement conference and before the Tuesday trial.  I am skeptical, I'll finish this program cause it is good for the grip and conditioning but I don't believe it'll suddenly get harder.  Its hard, but no too and that's enough.

2013 marks the best year I have ever had, financially and professionally.  Stronger, no doubt but the yoga practice has suffered.

At the start of 2014 the shoulders are large, the beard is grey.  Blood pressure is elevated, dog is gimpy.

Don't fuck it up.
