What a day. And it’s not over yet.

This morning started with a massive headache. Literally. To the point that I crawled back into bed to try and sleep off. Nearly three hours later – and with significantly reduced pounding in my head – I decided to give it a go and head to the office. Once in the office, I was informed of a number of changes that are coming down the pike… in fairly short and fast order. Yay.

A little after noon, Wes and I headed to the gym. Because I had a meeting starting at 2:00, we opted for a short workout:

• Leg Raises: 3 sets/20 reps
• Bench Press: 3 sets/10 reps, 205 lbs
• Reverse Fly: 3 sets/10 reps, 80 lbs
• Lower Back Extensions: 3 sets/15 reps, 140 lbs
• Dips: 3 sets/10 reps
• Curls (barbell): 3 sets/10 reps, 60 lbs

Post workout weight: 186.1 lbs.

Back in the office for what turned into the first of two meetings. It was fairly short, but it propogated a second – and slightly longer – meeting. There wasn’t any moaning, wailing or gnashing of teeth, so it wasn’t bad.

Tonight, Chris and I are getting together for a rematch of the JLA vs. Injustice League battle. I have a couple of ideas for my JLA team… one of which just makes me laugh. I may also build a fake team, just to see his reaction, and then switch to my actual team for the game.

Quote of the Day
Sean, one of my minions employees, was talking about the lack of diversity in Utah. He had a situation where his son, who is five, made a comment that kind of caught him off-guard. (He told me what it was and it wasn’t “bad,” just an amusing observation from a kid… using kid logic.) Sean, having grown up in Chicago, felt that he had failed as a father, with respect to teaching his kids about diversity and other races. As a member of the LDS Church, he also realizes how sheltered many people can be and made the following comment:

I want my son to know that there are more races than “Member” and “Non-member.”

Julie, who was also listening to Sean’s tale, and I both cracked up.

Namaste.
