Mea Culpa, Southern California

This post has been waiting in the blog queue. I know I owe you an apology, Southern California, but I was waiting for just the right moment. Yesterday, it transpired. Remember the dude who told me “Good luck making friends”? Well. He approached me yesterday to find out how I was doing, if I was [...]

Only in SoCal … [sneaky compliment or insult edition]

People. Despite my sad real talk about moving, which is real, I’m also ridiculously happy here. So happy that I’m going to Compliment-or-Insult my new home … wait, let’s not lie.

“I deadlift all the time. But lighter.”

I can’t make this kind of thing up. You can also imagine how livid I was when this gym gem occurred recently at the Aspen Club, but I will try to maintain the humorous approach … I’m working on deficit deadlifts at 245#. Even if you don’t know what that means, just know that is me [...]

Compliment or Insult: Round 2, Bar Edition
