Going to report on some positive stuff today.
It’s A Boy!
My friend Rich, and his husband Joe, finally welcomed their second child, Finn, into the world on January 30th. Though a challenging delivery, the surrogate and the baby are both well and in good health.
Fly Eagles Fly
You might thinking...is this guy NUTS?? And yeah, this Giants fan probably is. But...it’s been a long time coming and Philadelphia finally won their first Super Bowl last Sunday against New England. Those two teams being in this year’s Super Bowl for a Giants fan was a shit sandwich...who would we root for?? I just...couldn’t...root for Tom Brady or New England, since he and Bob Kraft are known Trump supporters. And Tom Brady is like Teflon...no matter what he does, shit doesn’t stick to him. Though Philly and NE played a great game last Sunday, Brady got yet another dose of Humble Pie (the Giants had fed him a couple of slices in the past), this time thanks to the Eagles.
Though I’m staunchly not an Eagles fan, there’s a part of me that is happy for the (non-thuggery) fans, especially older ones who waited a very long time to see them win a Lombardi, and finally witnessing it in their lifetimes. It feels good being a fan of a team that’s won at least one, and I just can’t bring myself to be a “wet blanket” in the midst of friends and acqaintences who are thrilled over their victory. No one around the office is really crowing or shoving it in our faces, but there’s a lot of smiles around here, and it’s nice to see.
The parade will be held in Philly tomorrow and it’s expected that three million are expected to attend. I hope the fans behave themselves; there were a number of well publicized incidents that occurred after the game last Sunday. And we know well how sensationalism sells in the news.
Training
Despite a challenging January dealing with lower back pain and tendonitis in my right elbow, things continue to move in a favorable direction. I’m liking what I see in the mirror. And in general, I feel pretty good. My Training Room workouts are going very well, and I’m still continuing to lift a few days a week over at Jersey Shore Fitness. I’ve changed the protocol somewhat with the JSFS workouts and just focusing on one body part in the interest of time; the workouts had been taking close to two hours and that is in addition to my training at the Training Room. In the addition of trying to make some strength gains, the last couple of weeks have been a five-by-five protocol, which has been going well so far. It’s still a bit early to tell for sure and I’ll report again on this within the next month.
That’s about all for now. Will write more soon.
