Love the title of your log.
It’s a cardinal sin to check messages on one’s phone before heading to the gym.
And BTW, you’re really strong.
You sir, do a shit ton of volume. Good work.

Thanks!
It’s true-- I’ve gone back to leaving the phone in the car so I can honestly say “I didn’t see the call until xx o’clock”.

As always, I’m jealous of your shoulder strength as I, well, have little.
I get calls on my work phone so rarely that I’m always unsure what it is when it rings. I like it that way. Sometimes it’s been dead for days and I never noticed. I love being unimportant. It gives a lot of freedom.
I thought everyone started school the Tuesday after labour day.

The Blackberry is a blessing and a curse. It’s gotten me out of sticky situations when i was lost or stuck in airports, but the curse part is obvious. There’s no escaping it as the company knows it’s always on us. Plus I work across 3 time zones and 1 Europe time zone…
re: School - yeah, we start early here.
This year will be interesting for the kiddos. They have been going to a private school the past 4 years (oldest = 4th grade). She did fine there and was the youngest in her class. This year they raised the tuition and we just couldn’t swing it, so off to public school (until they hit middle school).
The publik skoolz are teaching math that she did two years ago. She was all proud that the assignment in class was to complete some multiplication sheet in 10 minutes or something. She did it in two and on the second day of classes she’s already bored.
Ditto the younger kid (similar reading story). NOT good for motivation, so we’re going to look into bumping them a grade or finding ancillary tutoring.
My wife is an elementary ed teacher (former public teacher) and expected this. It was her that said “Our kids won’t set foot in a public school!”… DOH! (never say never, especially in a bad economy).
thats some fine shoulder work SD.
Looking realy good Steely!
Does your school district offer gifted or accelerated programming? Look into it. Would save you a lot of money.

Yeah, we’re looking into that.
Also considering putting them into Reading/Math classes in the grades above (like, they would do math/reading with the higher grade, then go back to their regular grade), or even pushing them up a full grade.
They both devour books (we don’t have a TV) so they’ve always gone to books for some entertainment (amazing how that works…).
No TV in our house either, although we can play DVDs. Thought we were the only ones . . .

I’ve been without commercial TV for years, although I just put up a digital TV antenna to watch football this year.

Same thing. Ton of movies and such, just no streaming TV. Honestly, it’s the content of the news and commercials and certain shows that get us. There are no redeeming qualities. I get FOX broadcast with the bunny ears (just one channel), so I watch NFL football on Sunday. I stream any sports broadcasts I want to see (there are ways…).
If we’re at family or something we’re a little more lenient because they have Disney (still not great IMO), Discovery, Animal Planet, etc. but we’re not paying full cable for just a couple channels.
They’re better for it anyway. They get bored with TV.
We let them watch cartoons and stuff on the computer (they love Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, Phineas and Ferb, etc).
My oldest (9) has read all of the Warriors books, Inkspell series, Sisters Grimm series. I have her starting The Hobbit. She devours books, and the younger one is picking up all the books on the bookshelves. We literally have bins and shelves full of kids books (plus bins of all my books-- I’m a reader, too). They never had a chance

big shoulder and arm work…
We have not had a TV for over 8 years- "make it dont watch it "
is something I say at least once a week at work.
Hey there, Steely… Just ~3 or so more years and I’m gonna join the ranks of the ancients as well… God I feel old now… The mead in Valhalla as good as they say?
Keep butchering the weights, brother.

TV went to hell in a hand-basket roughly around '94 or so over here… That’s when all the talk shows started usurping the ENTIRE daytime on practically every single damn channel.
Even cartoon network went down the drain around that time if I remember right
And now there’s really nothing you can get out of it that a computer can’t do for you…
I watch perhaps 1 movie every half year over TV… Only keep it around because it’s goddamn huge and my dearest likes it for console games. And the dog finds it soothing.
Probably the reason why he’s learning-impaired or something. Every other dog we had was easily twice as smart.
