This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

God, I hate exercise. Kettlebell is all I could ever manage. The martial arts are different--those are for the sheer love of the art. Actual exercise? Blech.

My sister is obsessive about it. She probably hates it as much as I do, but since almost quitting her PhD she has a life mission of doing things against her grain to prove she can tough it out. So she runs and swims long distances despite the aversion. We may not be related.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Actually, it was an interception that was in no way Brees' fault. And they got the ball back after four downs.

Coding and Sleeping

GODDAMNIT, SAINTS.

Try being a Cheifs and Royals fan.

I was bad this morning, I went for 7 hours of sleep instead of the treadmill, so I have to do the treadmill tomorrow morning. The eternal battle sleep vs. exercise.

In this regard you are Emmett. He's getting into very good shape with Krav, but it's tough getting him to run the steps at Kezar Stadium (at my house) or hit the gym at his mom's condo complex.

I actually like swimming. When everything is working in the water, it's sublime. Like flying down from the Tiger's Nest. Everything working as it should, it's magic, it's my body and it's all mine.

Oh god, some random show is using my favorite bit from Four Seasons, Winter, I think. Timely.

Ugh, I am so with you on that. One of the good things about having a dayjob back at the Big Software Co. is that the building I'm in now is about a 10 minute walk to the bus stop. Plus, I'm more likely to go for a walk to break up my day of staring at whitepapers and wanting to smack people.

I just joined a gym.

and wanting to smack people.

Krav would satisfy that urge.

Vocal gymnsatics? Are you going to scale the high C?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Plus, I'm more likely to go for a walk

NO WII! It makes me legs hurt.
