1- I took some strength training progress pix today. I am not sharing them here (I HAVE posted full body shots here before but I’m not feeling it right now, maybe because my kids are older and more aware and would probably make fun…

I’m done with longer-term planning, everyone. I promise! I mean, for now (not forever). And especially in regards to travel. We moved Big Sky to Feb, and I am holding it loosely even in that time frame. (I guess I could have left it…

Well, this has not been the summer I had envisioned. (Understatement of the century!) Thankfully, Josh did well post-operatively and is at home recovering. His fracture is a really bad one with joint involvement; longer-term outcomes with respect to sports are uncertain. He is…
