Things I’m Up to and Interested In

Photos I loved: The ones of trident-wielding surfers riding Lake Superior waves during the polar vortex.

Old article I enjoyed: They Thrive on All-Meat Diet (from Maclean’s in 1929).

Phrase I’m digging: “Inside-bone nutrients.”

This makes sense: The wilder the nature, the more benefits.

Question I’m Asking

Where do you prefer to train—in the gym or in the natural world? How do you prefer to train—using varied dynamic real world movements or with weights and machines?

Comment of the Week

– I enjoy the image of James Bond clacking away on his laptop on an abandoned payphone, Roger Moore.
