Five False Myths About Gender Differences
Blah, blah, blah… But say it enough times and maybe folks will start to look a the world a little differently. Can’t change something if you don’t know what’s broken.

Food. Get Some.
Have been a crazy Mad Men fool lately. Look! Here’s a picture of some excellent food at Boulevard Haus to distract you!
Am looking forward to upcoming vacation mainly because it means I can unplug from social media pursuits for a whole three days and work on some actual fiction. I’ve got Babylon and Iron Maiden languishing out there on Dropbox.What’s the use of a mobile file management system if you never use it?
Also, boxing classes start when I get back from the Left Coast. Yeah, yeah, delay involves a sprained right finger, which involves a bad dog and a leash. Not nearly as exciting as it sounds.
Man, I’m looking forward to this vacation. Just wish it was another three or four days longer.

Level Up
Switched from 5 lb weights during my morning circuit to 10 lb weights. Yes, yes, I can heft my 20 lb and 30 lb for limited exercises, but 3 minutes of strength followed by cardio followed by strength again is a liiiittle tougher. Two weeks with the 5 lbs was just enough for me to start getting bored. Now it’s 10 lbs and I felt like I was gonna die again.
Good times.
Hoping to max out at 20lbs with these (was doing 12-15 at the gym back when I was doing circuit, but at home, I only have 10′s and 20′s. So they’ll be another hefty level up here sometime in a couple weeks).
