#572 – Farewell Old Friend

“You’re going to break it.” My little boy loved my old armchair. It rocked…. literally. Some days it was like he was a pirate on a stormy sea, he would see how far the boat would go. We often told him to stop as we were afraid it would flip or break. And one day it...

#571 – What Weights Are You Lifting?

“How heavy is that?” We were down in our basement showing a friend my husband’s weight-lighting gym. He looked at the weights loaded on the weight-lifting bar and asked how heavy it was. It was 75kg. He was impressed.  My husband didn’t start out lifting 75kg weights....
