I used to be able to do lots of pull ups, back when I weighed 145#. Now that I weigh a lot more than that, I can't come anywhere close to doing one.
I lost weight and gained a lot of upper body strength the last time I was on crutches. Not really the best method to get in shape, though.
I'm quite certain that I shall go to my grave never having achieved so much as a single pull up. And, by now, I'm pretty well at peace with it.
Trapeze helped me be able to do pullups! I never thought I'd be able to do them either. I'm not sure if I could do one now though. Certainly not today at any rate.
lisa makes me laugh and laugh. also go bowm chica bow bowm.
I'm here to entertain! I think he's coming out here for july 4 weekend.
According to reports, Paul Newman, 83 and a former chain-smoker, has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer
Shit! Kenyon College alumnus, do-gooder, smartass, race car driver, charismatic sonofabitch, Butch Cassidy, and ultimately a really good actor.
Also? Makes a hell of a salad dressing.
Hivemind! Can you think of a store where I might be able to pick up a Michael Scott-ish "World's Greatest Boss" coffee mug?

Also Amazon has a Dunder-Mifflen one.
poop on the Newman news. one of my older man crushes.
ION - the song from the Dunkin Donuts commercial "I forgot all about the air hockey table" STUCK IN MY HEAD!
83 is a good long run, but, damn, he's such a quality human being that we really could have done with another two or three decades of him. Preferably ending peacefully in bed surrounded by fat, happy grand and great-grandchildren, not with tubes and IVs and lung cancer. Fuck you, cancer, you asshole.
