THE BOSS, THE MAN...AFRO!!
This is Burt, AKA Afro! This is dude who owns and operates the gym where I work diligently (do I?) to maintain my weight and health via physical exercise. I have been a member of his gym, Ladies Only Total Fitness for two years this coming August. I joined initially to lose baby weight but then became accustomed to feeling good after a work out. I like this facility because it is small, intimate and members pretty much know one another there. Because it is a small, unisex setting, I don't get the "meat (meet) market, I'm-not-really-here-to-work-out-but-to-be-seen" feeling you can get from the larger gyms. I can't stand large gyms! The staff members at LOTF are great and take a lot of pride in working with us (and hurting us in a good way of course :-)). Oh, and access to personal trainers are included in the gym fees unlike some other spots. In a future post, I will include pics of Minerva, a seasoned woman in age, but far from it in physique! You guys ROCK!!!

POMP and CIRCUMSTANCE

This is my oldest son at his pre-k 4 graduation. I really didn't know that there was a ceremony or celebration for ending pre k education! Like Valentine's day, a pre-k graduation ceremony is just another branch of capitalism, but hey it makes the world go 'round right? Anywho, I was proud none the less and I held back tears as he came down the aisle to "Pomp and circumstance". If I managed to stave off the role of blubbering fool at this ceremony, is it safe to say that I'm gonna be a complete and utter basket case at his high school's graduation? You bet ya! Enjoy the pics!
