The mere thought of kick boxing makes my knee hurt.

Tying threads, the most effective workout music remains a mix of Motorhead (the punkier classic stuff), Slayer (Reign in Blood), DK, Fear, Ministry (Psalm 69), Rage Against Machine, and a few Metallica cuts ("Spit Out the Bone" and "Battery" most notably).

That gets the heart rate well over 90.

Yeah, don't fuck around with bad form on a rowing machine. Lots of serious back injuries down that road.

But pulling a chest muscle? First, idk how you do that doing anything. But doing it rowing seems bizarre, as rowing does not involve any exertion of pectoral muscles.

Are you sitting on the machine backwards perhaps?

Swing State Blues...

Getting twenty texts a day from pollsters and campaigns. None of which cease by replying "STOP," as they just continue under another number.

When history of the moment is definitively authored a few decades from now, it'll start with a Dickensian note.

"These were the dumbest of times... There were those in charge, and they knew a lot, if not everything, about everything (if you asked them)... There were those shaking a fist, advocating for a return to common sense, and sanity (with which they claimed unconvincingly to be somewhat familiar)...

The Big Dumb was a like a Dark Ages. Thankfully, given no one had an attention span greater than forty-five seconds by 2025, what would normally have passed over centuries came and went in a little more than a decade. And now we live in peace, managed by the Holy Algorithm and AI Parliament.

...And all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds. "

Maybe meet in the middle, but I'm in. We'll figure it out.

I'm a huge Slayer guy, but I never found them to be good gym music. Too aggro and often too fast. Same, or even more, with Ministry.

Despite their inane, cloying politics, Rage is perfect for both lifting and a treadmill.

My fave would be the Rollins Band "End of Silence" or pre- and post albums, but he's also a pain in the ass. Pushed me off stage at the Limelight once.

In the Bluest of the Blue places on Earth (San Fran and NYC. not like I'm outing myself to anyone at this point), I'm still getting directed phone calls and texts. About 5 a day. I'm also getting NeverTrump emails averaging about 10, daily.

Next few months are going to be VERY.ANNOYING. On all fronts.

It might be just you and me!

But I have less than a year.

I have put my toddler in charge of answering the phone, which makes the calls very, very entertaining. At least on our side.

Good. AARP is offering RT deals on the hosting fees for LT, but she is hesitating as it meant kicking you and Adder off. But you’ll be fine. Maybe Adder can get a fake ID?
