It's my mom's birthday. Remind me to call her, because I have a habit of forgetting these things until the next day.

WGOM Fitness: 12 December 2012, The Power of Rest
When I went to bed last night, my triceps were still very, very sore and I had a difficult time even dragging my carcass onto the mattress. I was beginning to believe that I would never recover from my Simply Strength workout. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: 12 December 2012, The Power of Rest

Julian Bream: Recuerdos de la Alhambra
I loves me some classical guitar. I've mentioned this before, but one of the formative cultural experiences of my childhood was going to the then-pretty-new Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis to see Julian Bream (it had to have been 1974 or 1975). brotherS and I sat in the nosebleed seats, separate from our parents, as they were unable to get four tickets together. We dressed up in our Sunday best for the show and were warned on pain-of-death not to so much as cough. And we went out to a real Chinese restaurant (i.e., silverwear and china dishes, not plastic and styrofoam) beforehand. Also, Julian Bream and I share a birthdate, so that's cool too.
