Maybe he's onto something

The cure for everything is salt water - sweat, tears or the sea.”  
 Isak Dinesen.

Hmmm...
 
The Sea
I haven't been able to be in the water for the last 3 months due to open wounds.

Tears
I've shed my share of these, but never found them to be a satisfactory cure.

Sweat
I have been waiting to donate some of this for a long time, but until this week I have been told not to work out because an elevating my blood pressure could overwhelm the tissue making up my temporary thumb. 

Yesterday I made it up to the club and sat on a bike for a full hour.
I was not surprised at how good it felt to sweat, but was glad that I could pull it off without any pain in my hip.

Hopefully I will get to start doing this (and more) on a regular basis.

1st day back at the gym

  1. Now this I can relate too. I am now back in the gym for the first time in a year and I feel great about it. On things for sure, the older you get the less you gain and the longer it takes. Have fun with it and go slow!

  3. Do I see a beard growing? If so, I approve! If not, you should grow one! ;)

    1. I let it go until I can't stand my mom asking me "when are you going to shave?".
