My 100 year old grandfather passed away yesterday.  He lived a long and full life so we’re not overly sad, but I couldn’t help but think about him as I planned for today.  I looked up famous people to live to 100 and stumbled across this on George Burns:

“George Burns
1896-1996
In his appropriately titled memoir How to Live to be 100, the beloved entertainer shared a fitness and nutrition plan that wasn’t exactly groundbreaking.  It consisted of a lot of stretches and walking, and a diet high in prunes.  But he didn’t consider any of this the “key” to a long life:
“If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity,” he wrote, “I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension.  And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.””

YHC, Loan Shark, Prosciutto and Ducktales pre-rucked today’s workout and most of the chatter surrounded our fighting histories.  Loan Shark and I mostly listened.  Pro’s cousin, Frank Cafarella, developed a solid strategy when scrapping.  You gotta act a little crazy.  Say crazy stuff.  Crazy eyes.  Make them think twice, you know?

Our man Picasso has been stretched thin these days and needed a sub on q today.  So you all have him to thank for 15 minutes of mary.
