My comment will not be insightful, but perhaps funny to some:
Your comment on "rarity for certain activities" reminded me of a very funny scene in a murder mystery series, "Castle." The main character, a charming, impulsive, best selling mystery writer named Castle, is very worried his ex-wife - whom he still occasionally beds - will move back to his town. When asked "why are you worried? You two seem to get on so well."
He replies "Because it's like eating a deep-fried twinkie. You know, that guilty pleasure you part take in once - maybe twice - a year for the novelty of it. BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE EATING A DEEP-FRIED TWINKIE EVERYDAY?!? THE HORROR! Now, [ex-wife]? She's a deep-fried twinkie."
I don’t think I have ever not been both enchanted and challenged by your essays. Wonderful thoughts, beautifully crafted words.
Beautiful!
I never look forward to squats and deadlifts. If you are, you're not lifting heavy enough.
So beautifully written- wow! Thank you, Sir! 🙏🏻
