Funny thoughts through the mind this past weekend,

Several times pondering my current physical condition…not something to be proud of,

Heavier than I’ve ever been, quite out of any solid baseline of fitness,

And then I think about Jerome Bettis, and Pablo Sandoval, former professional football player and baseball player respectively. Both extraordinary athletes in their day.

Both are big men. Both taller than me, but not by much. Both moved with surprising agility and deftness of purpose.

So, while I see the clear need to shed the pounds, I am also choosing to take inspiration from big dudes who nonetheless made things happen.

Here’s to that. Let’s make things happen.
