SSHs, shoulder blasters, a decision to make. Enjoy the great outdoors and maybe get wet? Or retire to the Pavalon where it’s dry but dark, and where Gibbler still smells?

We did a little Rte 66+ up the dragon to warm up, and just when @Tecmo was feeling good about his decision to come this morning, we pivoted to the Pavalon and partnered up. A Pavalon partner pivot.

Lots of Rainy Day Burpees followed by various break excercises, including the TRC/Crab legs , the rumors of whose banishment from this platform have been greatly exaggerated.

My only regret is not having a speaker and not being able to shock tender snowflake sensibilities with some of my favorite música en español.

Faith, in my understanding, is an abject dependence. For most of us it comes from desperation and failure. But how else could we ever truly live?

Grateful for a presidential hospital visit. Grateful for a life, and for the challenges and rewards of a new life together.

COT:

Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.
