I guess it&#8217;s the sacrifice I have to make for good health.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of good health, Randy returned from his trip to San Antonio last night and tried to get me to join him at the gym (he has a one day visitor pass). I declined last night&#8217;s visit (after about 20 minutes of arguing) but I agreed I&#8217;d give it a shot this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, yours truly will be visiting a gym. Trust me, it shocks me more than it shocks you. Hell, it scares me, too. Especially now that I&#8217;m reading about this MRSI (the deadly staph infection) that is being found in hospitals and gyms. Knowing my luck I&#8217;ll start getting healthy physically, then get a fatal staph infection as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Again, the sacrifices we make to stay healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in honor of the Red Sox doing something right last night, my photo today is of me as a child&#8230;in a Red Sox uniform. It definitely wasn&#8217;t mine, that&#8217;s for sure. And my mother must have been drunk when she took the photo because I don&#8217;t think it could possibly be any more blurry. Maybe she was getting too much fiber, too?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had a problem this week.
