    I've spent a lot of time looking at those workout plans that claim to get you to 100 push-ups in a row (no rest) the way a Honda man might ogle a Porsche...
    Hahaha! I can probably do about 75-80ish in a set? I do sets of 40-50. It sucks bad enough.

    I really want to ask a follow up question about a Tenacious D workout but I’m not going to.

    Speaking of Jack Black, I have been to a Lucha Libre event in Mexico City. It was wild.

    Great win. Great game. I love watching Virginia and have a little bit of a man-crush on Tony Bennett.

    I could do that with The Raven and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening at one point. I still can with Nuthin But A G'Thang and Gin and Juice.

    As a Bicentennial project, I memorized Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, all 10 stanzas, and recited it in our backyard to invited guests while other kids in our neighborhood acted it out behind me. My younger brother played Revere. I've still got the first 2 stanzas permanently engraved in my memory.

    I learn Shakespearean monologues and poems for fun.

    I did this too. His monologues and lots of poems by different folks. I still remember long swathes of many of them. In a completely unrelated note, I also once said to some friends "I'm too busy for a girlfriend." I was definitely not too busy.

    So, I asked Alexa to play Jesus Christ Superstar. What emanated was a 2005 remaster of the 1996 Broadway cast. I grew up on the CD and movie that had Ted Neeley in the title role, Carl Anderson as Judas, with Yvonne Elimon as Mary. Was I right to tell Alexa to stop?

    Completely unaware of this. But who wants to talk some transitional poets?

    Do they rhyme?

    We are still under a boil water notice. I'm tired of boiling water.

    Great question! Sometimes, but they don't have to. Generally dealt with modern themes within the confines of traditional structure! This really is fun! And boil the water. Don't skirt this recommendation. But do let it cool afterwards.
