Doing less, with more - what's in store for us

Time is...running out. so why the weight?

Putting weight back on - as in plates, after clearing...the bar -- 5's, 10's, even 25's (?!). Good to do gradually, and...oh-so-slowly. Each repetition, focusing on form. As well as breathing in ("Now...hold it") when lowering it, to your chest (?!) and forcefully exhaling as you lift it and then celebrate (cheers!") every other repetition (as greedy is considered bad form here). Such is the way in which one can build stronger muscles in the weighting room, living life on the bench - -  more muscle with less repetitions😅. On to another revolution...

Acts of charity...come passion - another resolution that, after a strong beginning ("Happy....") starts Petering out -- the whole taking from Peter and giving to Paul routine ("I take it back!") unless one continues to stay, what resolutionists call "Home, James" -- as to where charity begins...and ends each day. That is, while one might find themselves doing some worthwhile acts on behalf of someone they had never met before ("Please, continue..."), it's oddly more challenging, anything but routine, to do it at my home address. To save more time and spend less wasted effort..."I vow to spend less per capita and more time at home this year..." One more about less...

Santa Clause Pause... The Christmas just past, on our street was a cause for great pause, as people stood in awe with the size of them. Which guarantees that the Christmas yet to come will bring even less Santa's filled with even more air. Otherwise, referred to as the cost of inflation...

Happy 2026, less or more...

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
