You don’t really need to train 6-7 times a week like I do to see significant gains. I am doing that because I am willing to make the tradeoff.

And that tradeoff is that I work out twice as hard for maybe 25% more gains. If that math doesn’t work for you, you can cut your time and energy expended in half and forego only 25% of progress. My partner doesn’t work out nearly as often/hard as I do but she is still seeing large improvements.

As said, it’s a tradeoff. I am willing to expend a lot more effort in this case to see relatively not as much progress because I have the time and the interest (and the ability). But it’s not necessary to make substantial progress.

One of the things I like about living in Florida is that when you stick your hand in a dark mailbox, you never know what’s going to run away, scurry around, or possibly bite you. The possibilities are endless!

I’m liking the show Bunheads better than I thought I would.

Unlike Amy Sherman-Palladino’s other show, Gilmore Girls, it tells more of a story and it’s not just a bunch of people chatting and whip-cracking witty quips until the quip whip quits. And of course, Emma Dumont, which is the best I’ve seen since Carrie Coon addicted me to The Leftovers. But once I got used to the very stage-play-like nature of the show it’s turned out to be a fun watch. Treats the lives of teenage girls respectfully and with humor, but is not just about them (was lensed when Emma D. was maybe 17-18) and has some sense of setting that Gilmore Girls for me just lacked.

I’m not sure I’d recommend it. It’s not to everyone’s taste. But it’s better than most other shows and it makes me laugh sometimes. The gag about a coupon for renting the Intrepid was particularly funny. And as I mentioned previously, Kelly Richards is also really good.
