And by “swell,” I mean swellin’ up…
I have a line of four tiny blisters on the ring finger of my right hand from this morning’s squat cleans. I will spend the rest of the day:
Mmmmm… lancing. May I be the first to say, “Ew.”
Like what you've read? Got something to say? Lay it on me!

I'm about two-thirds of the way through this detective thriller, and I'm hooked. It's set in modern Norway with flashbacks to WWII (catnip for me!) and features a somewhat grim hero that engenders empathy. I can't help pulling for the guy as I watch him struggle with his case and his life. The cast of characters is a realistic but motley crew, and it reminds me of other favorites set in cold, snowy climes: the Millenium Trilogy and Smila's Sense of Snow.
Recently finished...
I picked up this book after reading an interview with Lee Child (author of the Jack Reacher thrillers). He referred to The Lost as "the book of the century" and since I devour as much as I can about the Holocaust to try to make sense of it all, I decided I needed to read it immediately. Part memoir, part detective tale, this book was thoroughly engrossing. It's intelligent, annoying, moving, frustrating, and ultimately, rewarding and beautifully written. It challenged me in ways I didn't expect, and I was sad when it was finished.
Oh no! I'm doing this WOD tonight (2.5 hours) and I'm wondering what the rx weight is. I am working with a bum left knee and tears from Monday's pull-ups so a serious strategy is in order.
The RX'd weight was 115. I wrote about it earlier today… I did 75#. Cleans are not my strongest skill.
Ok wait…maybe it's not the same WOD. Ours tonight is 10- rings dips and 1-10 DB cleans.
Funny…the twitter said DB, not BB.
Hmmm. Dilemma dilemma. What is my knee telling me tonight…
