What is your go-to workout?

I did that to Aunt Mavis once.

 

I’m still looking at April 3 for my next tournament. The boy might go in March if he gets back to practice after wrestling season, he’s the assistant at his old high school which is pretty cool. Stay tuned.

 

Good job, records that still stand! I have no records, that’s probably why I’m still grappling as an old fart.

 

Marie Kondo! I love it! Mrs Crafty still folds socks so they don’t choke.

 

She does! It was helpful for us to get rid of things that clutter the house. It’s funny, I looked up the name of the book we read years ago, and Amazon suggested a bunch of books about “Swedish Death Cleaning”. I had to click on it to see what it is.

In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you.

 

So, my intense cleansing the farm of several generations of junk and treasure (including mine) has a cultural, philosophical, and historical significance?

Yeah, all these books are working.

I'm reading through C.S. Lewis these days and currently in Mere Christianity. I used a couple of free Hillsdale College courses as a primer.

Health is still on track at 2 pounds a week loss, sauna 5 days a week to detoxing, 6500 steps a day, still Ketovore-ish diet, daily weighted stretching and some non-bouncy calisthenics.

My body has been beaten all to shit by both adventures and fighting evil,

 

A 20-something in class said, “No wonder about those grips, I saw you pulling up in that bucket truck!” Haha. A side-effect I’d never really thought about much. It makes up for my bench press, it’s never been impressive. Oops.

 

Great news!
