A huge congratulations to Brad and his wife Karen on their 30th wedding anniversary today. Just FYI, Brad won’t be at the gym today.

Also, Happy Birthday to Ean Sonnier (he happens to be Brad’s son-in-law) who turned the big 3-0 yesterday. We had a lot of fun at Terrapin on Saturday night with an epic game of cornhole. Some of the crew went on to celebrate Ean at Casa Mia, while some were jonesing for a nice, big, greasy NY style pizza (lets just say that when Josh is wanting pizza, he’s going to eat A LOT of pizza). From what I hear, the bar crawl afterward was awesome. Sorry I missed it!

I didn’t write this. But it’s pretty cool. An Ode to the CrossFit Box by Sam Redetsky of CrossFit West.

First, for those that don’t know, my grandfather has been in in-home hospice care for the last two weeks. Monday morning the nurse said he probably only had about 2 hours left.
