am--4 Harts/Bank. We had a small crew this morning. ): Hope everything is ok for everybody. The body is bouncing back. RHR--53. 

pm--3 Warm and cool w/ the kids, sandwiched around the workout. Some improvement, but we still have work to do. 

I finished a bio today--Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd by Mark Blake. I've always been a sucker for music bios, and this didn't disappoint. At over 400 pages, It's a real tome. Nonetheless, it read fairly quickly. Creative tension is a subject that has dominated my interests recently, so the relationship of the big dogs--Roger Waters and David Gilmour--provided a good case study. Two egos can amaze and thoroughly underwhelm. It depends on their symbiosis. My favorite quote from the book comes from Roger Waters: "You can't give up. You have to keep bashing away or else you're finished as a human being" (340).

It’s in the school library.

I'll second that. Joe Rantz is the man! More life lessons and inspiration in that book than any I've read in the past 10 years.

I read that book because of your recommendation, Rob.
