Five profile points who I am, by books: Apostle Paul, “Romans.” Montaigne’s “Essays.” Pascal’s “Penses.” Hugo’s “LesMiserbles.” Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time.” Four Frenchman and one Jewish man.
Grateful.

1 Samuel 15:22, “…obedience is better than sacrifice.” The Lord surfeits me undeserved mercies every day for seventy-six years. Accelerants: lifting 🏋️♀️ and reading📕.
And this is just a gate-opener, starter kit. There’s much more here. “He has…” [Mark 7:37].
Rx: Mental Health Turn off and swerve aside from all media for a spell and read some children’s books, maybe Winnie the Pooh, etc.
New old word. Please use it at least several times this week:
Today went to a used book sale at Brevard College, Brevard NC, between appointments and things-to-do. All pushed back or ahead when I saw the sign. Filled a $5.00 box, equals $0.50 a book.
Thursday morning Look: My morning’s ‘Starter Kit.’ The Word and 100% caffeine. Lots of stuff to do Lord today so I need your help and strength. Thank you! Amen.
Thursday. North Carolina Mountain sled day. 385# sled and plates. This and farmer’s walk. My leg primos. Push 350 feet, up an 8/9% hill. I’m 77 on 9/11.
Fitness” is not an “activity” occurring necessarily in a gym but a life balance including pushing and carrying and lifting heavy things, sometimes dumbbells or more often, walking. Reading and more: mind, body and spirit. Life’ steadiness.
RE: A usable analogy for much. Kudzu spreads quickly kills and strangles the host. And once set, not enough to trim or even cut to stump. The root structure must be dug out. In many parts of the South that I know, it’s an ugly sight as it clings and destroys trees.
Carry on working from all possible angles making possibly the impossible, possible.

Friday, May 8, road paving, Brevard NC in western North Carolina. Important to know who or whom or what you’re following, and why.
I’m a real car with real shape and personality! You see me coming and going! Makes me cry seeing boring they-all-look-alikes today. I’m at the Brevard Diner, Sunday May 3rd, Brevard NC. #Plymouth #BrevardNC

Yesterday, Friday 24 April, walking from PATCO’s Franklin Square Station to Drexel University in West Philly, infront of Independence Hall, saw a block of granite with the First Amendment engraved and stopped and pondered.
Friday’s hotel … DB incline bench presses. DB incline bench flyes. Pushups, launched off two DB’s. DB flat bench over-the-head triceps extensions. DB inline bench alternating bicep curls.
Now start walking with heavy weight in each hand. It’s called “farmer’s walk.” I’ve been doing this since 2015. I’m 76. Here I am last week walking 2,800 feet with two 70# bars. You walk, set down and pause, pickup and walk and repeat…
Victor Hugo, This line from Les Miserable’s unpacks a truth. Folks and governments and companies ignoring decision consequences. I’ve read Les Miserable’s two times and I see a third reading soon. “Often, when thinking to knot one thread, 🧵 we tie 🪢 another.” 💥 🎯 💯
