Thank you so much for checking out my blog this week. I remember Nora from when she first came into another gym 15 years ago and started training with Art. That gym closed and we are all at the Royal Oak Gym now. Nora is amazing.

I could not vote on some because I did not see a choice that appealed to me. 😛
Great videos! Including the one where you sadly fell through the floor. 😀

I had to chuckle over the “research study” meme. Every time a writing student tries to play the “studies have shown” card, I slap down my four of a kind: what studies specifically? who conducted them? when were they conducted? what methodology did they use?
