While planning today’s workout I asked my son which exercise he hated most.  The answer was hill sprints.  Wisdom of the day is “Don’t aske and 18 year old for advice”

                  In High school science we all learned that three simple machines (Wheel, Lever, Incline) can be used to create any more complex machine.  Similarly, the basic constructs of lying, cheating and sealing can be used to create wars, genocides and other acts of great evil.  In today’s environment we seem to have forgotten these simple acts are the starting point for the worst behaviors of mankind.  They have become so common with our leaders that we don’t even notice them anymore.
