| Infamous Gym Bag This blog covers last Friday which was the 17th and Fathers day which was yesterday on the 19th. Late Thursday evening I was cleaning out the truck and detailing the interior when I got a twitter message form my friend from work, Walter. He was asking me if I would like to workout with him in the morning.I looked at the message, thought about it for a few minutes and then decided to go for it. I had just filled my truck up, and one random trip to Athens would not hurt anything. I made it to CCHS Friday morning around 8 a.m. and Walter and I spent a few minutes catching up before we started lifting. It is funny how many things we have in common. Once in the gym we each kind of naturally went our separate ways with iPhones blasting Pandora into our ears. He was most likely listening to some type of Tool metal station or a Grateful Dead hippie mix while I was jamming to some Cascada techno! I usually alternate between techno and death metal when lifting. Quite a contrast but, it seems to be what I generally gravitate towards. It is also funny how each of our workouts has its own ritualistic importance to each of us. I choose a mix of this random Notre Dame workout that I got from a book that my dad bought me for 10 cents at a yard sale like 15 years ago....who knew it would become a 5 plus year obsession of mine to use only its workouts. Walter has his own routine and we occasionally come together to share new ideas. We spent this entire past year working out together before and after work and have each adopted quite a few of each others exercises. I threw in a picture of my dog Yogi looking up at me after I got home from lifting with Walter. I felt as if the expression on his face was saying "do you really need all that crap on your bag to exercise"? Ha! |

| L to R, Chester, Katie, Dad, Emily, Aaron The pictures above are from this years father's day. We had the usual get together at Kate's grandparents house and then made it over to my parents house which is pictured above. After dinner my brother in-law brought out a couple of guns that he wanted to do some target shooting with. I think it is hilarious that he and my sister now have conceal carry permits and even more hilarious that my 100 lb sister carries a Desert Eagle .380! We shot the .22 rifle, .22 pistol, .380 pistol, and my .44 mag that I just happened to have in the truck thanks to my new handy truck holster that my in-laws bought me for fathers day. We had a blast shooting..literally and Dad offered many shooting tips from his days in the GBI. The day was great and it felt very weird getting father's day gifts this year but at the same time very exciting. I am looking forward to October when Blythe will be part of our adventures! |
