As you can see, I have not posted to the site in some time.
The reason is simple. What was left of my body after my first hospitalization (from 167 to 135 pounds) has been ravaged by yet more pneumonia and a two week stay in the hospital near to the point of death. My body weight dropped to a scant 123 pounds. I was nearly dead several times. The double pneumonia was very, very hard on on this tired body.

The mind of the true Strength Enthusiast is unique.
Many Strength Enthusiasts do little outside the gym, giving the impression that we are boring, self-absorbed ego maniacs who can only get excited by the site of our own muscular reflection staring back at us. To be honest, I suppose in many cases that is a accurate description of most of the folks you find in health clubs all over the world, but these knuckle-heads are not Strength Enthusiasts. These unwashed masses make up a cadre of useless, sagging skin-bags I like to refer as Gym Rats.

OK, granted, this movie/slideshow has nothing to do with strength training, but must we be so pigeonholed in life that we Ironheads cannot appreciate the finer things in life? Perish the thought!
What if you wanted to just relax after a brutal session, or meditate just prior to a set of PR Squats? What are you going to? Listen to Slipknot? Or maybe War Machine, by KISS? That might work for Gene Rychlak when he is trying to bench over 1000 lbs, and hey, that works for him.
But some of are are civilized, are we not? How about trying something different for a change.
Enjoy a relaxing trip though time, back to 2007, April, Charlottesville Virginia>

A couple of weeks ago I had a spiritual insight into how God communicates with us. This is my first, and maybe only, podcast. I hope you find it interesting. There are few places in the podcast that represent some personal moments of transparency that contain words best suited for adult ears. Mind you, this was my first podcast and I might as well leave it the way it is.
Special thanks go out to Jeff and his wife, who runs http://images.spiderpaws.com/. She is a graphic artist who threw together the wonderful iTunes logo for our podcasts.
