Overall, today was a rather good – and productive – day. We like those. We like them a lot, in fact. This afternoon’s workou was good, too. Near the beginning of my workout, an older woman (in her 50s or 60s) asked me if I could do one-armed push-ups. She had been watching me do dips and leg raises on the Roman chair and said that I looked strong enough to do them. I smiled, thanked her and told her that I should probably try doing them at home first, so that I didn’t fall on my face and embarrass myself in front of everyone at the gym. She laughed at that. But, her comment was a definite ego boost.
After work, I came home and had a difficult time deciding what I wanted for dinner. After due deliberation, I came to a decision: I wanted to cook out. And I did. If any of my neighbors were looking out their windows, I’m sure that they wondered what in the Nine Hells had possessed me to take out the grill in 30-something degree weather. Oh, well. I did… and I liked it! And the steaks were good; I overcooked them a bit, but they were still damned tasty.
