Jabroni, Magic Mike, and the Game around Rihanna’s halftime show

The slang noun, Jabroni, expanded beyond its original use in professional wrestling to social media after the AFC Championship football game. We credit the Sheik and the Rock for their roles in getting this interesting noun into the dictionary: A few weeks ago, the KC Chiefs’ Travis Kelce challenged the Cincinnati mayor for his rather uppity comment. Kelce tweeted, “Don’t be a Jabroni”; Not endearing, but still utilitarian… You see, a Jabroni is a recruited underdog that cannot prevail against a superior force. Think of the also-ran team recruited to face the Harlem Globetrotters in basketbal ..read more

Yes, I have been missing in action since late 2022. Oh, that my time away was spent on some enchanted island. Yet I have been head down and tail up finalizing my manuscript for Strong to Save.  This second non-fiction work is a fitness primer that implores Gen X to die harder and later…   You see, resistance (aka weight) training is a superlative down-aging and life-enhancing exercise. Period. A conceptual front cover for Strong to Save: Your Gen X imperative to die harder and later is shared to get your sarcomeres flexing. Now, it is about time to chat about Pizza and National Hea ..read more

Sixty-nine?! I offer 69 as an upper number of fitness years, of filling in the holes of life, rather than alluding to an urban dictionary term. As the world, worm and COVID turn, I relish this chance to reflect on my 69 laps around our sun. Wow – we’re in our third year of the New Abnormal life caused by a virus. Oy!   I advocate that seventy is the new forty, so this Pisces is truly looking forward to his 70th orbit.  I hope that my lessons learned to this point may help you as well… If you are reading this post, you are a co-survivor of a scary and deadly pandemic. Whew! A Frosty s ..read more

‘Tis The Season Happy Twelfth Night of this Holiday season. Citing the Bard in Act 2, “In delay there lies no plenty.” His Twelfth Night romance also had desire as a theme, so let’s build on such desire without delay… If you are like me, most Christmas trimmings are tucked away, and resolve for healthy habits in our New Year of 2022 is percolating.  Note that I didn’t write “resolution”, as the batting average for New Year’s Resolutions is not laudable. You’ve probably been besieged by year-end and New You platitudes, so I intend to avert those. What we Professional Trainers can and shoul ..read more

Advent Before sharing my thoughts on Hallmarks as “proofs” of your KABOOMER excellence, I sadly note the passage of a great American. RIP Senator! One of our Greatest Generation, Kansan Bob Dole, faded away yesterday. This image is from his postwar recovery years after his left arm was shattered in combat. Credit: NBC News Dole was the real deal for sacrifice and selfless service. I dedicate this Hallmark post to those of his generation who fought the good fight to make our crazy world a finer place to live, work and play. If that Army hero will allow me to share a naval saying with which I a ..read more

MOVEMBER Gratitude I’m not a legend in my own mind…Nor is my feather duster a mustache of legends. This post’s title line came from an organizational thank-you for my annual contribution to the international MOVEMBER Movement. That Movement publicizes sad, yet often preventable, aspects of men’s mental and physical well-being. Aspects with descriptors like: too young and too deadly. Did you know that U.S. men experience prostate cancer at about the same rate as do women for breast cancer?  And …Men are at higher risk for suicide. And…Men are generally outlived by women.

It’s Complicated My up-close and personal experiences shape this blogpost about certain bothersome human viruses. I mentioned certain, as a small, yet notable part of our human DNA is comprised of breaking bad and staying good viruses. Credible sources suggest that “lurking” endogenous Viruses may be 8 to 10 per cent of our total genetic code. Yes, some of these dormant proteins may enable bad outcomes.  Yet some of these ancient viral artifacts are helpful in symbiotic ways rather than harmful to us. Science News states that these viruses have evolved with us so that we can “jump start ..read more

Days Come and Go Please remember yesterday, plus your ever-somber details of 9-11-2001! Yesterday, 9-11-2021, was in no way an easy day.  Yet life goes on – yes? Today is crowned National Grandparents’ Day – a role which I personally resemble and love. Joseph R. Biden, jr. does too.  His podium is a big bigger than mine, so I’ll quote our President’s Proclamation  for this special Generational day: “I call upon all Americans to celebrate the role grandparents play in families and for the children they love.” PSA As a mini-public service announcement, I urge all of ..read more
