The Moleskine:

  • Great workout if each exercise continued one after another.  We were getting to that point, but lots of explanation necessary at the beginning.  The second time will be really burn-y.  Great job today.  Good sweat and fellowship.
  • Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.  Nuff said.
  • Men's Health is the superficial, picture-laden journal for fashion, fitness, nutrition and sex/relationship advice that targets young professional male demographic.  Implied physical strength, virility and happiness ooze from the pages.  I subscribe only for the articles…
  • Whiffs of Axe body spray invaded the workout.  Thank you for smelling great, but we were lost on its pheromonic response.  Axe is a brand by the worldwide consumer goods conglomerate Unilever.  In countries like the UK and Australia, it is know as Lynx.  Though it has been in Unilever's repertoire since 1983, 2003 saw the marketing target younger males.  Ad campaigns showed "geeky" men dancing with and luring attractive women who otherwise would not have associated with them.
  • Canadian computer science programs no longer teach computer graphics, replaced by vaping and smoking pot.  Maybe I understood incorrectly.
  • Looking forward to Natty Week!  (It's like Shark Week but not really…)
  • Always an honor to lead fine gentlemen!
