Saluted the sun, briefly.

I had some body work done. Not a material addition, as the month of November hosted a pair of mods. My friends, my friend The Boogie RKC sent me some swell messages with her gifted digits, and I was left floating on my way into The Joe, a workplace unlike any other in retail. And in reatil we play with hard, repetitive work.
Opening boxes, placing many small units on shelves, and hoisting from awkward spots are the most common tweakables. Breaking down a pallet of, for example, 50 cases can take a veteran crew member as little as 15 minutes. To wheel the stacks of boxes, numbering 8-9 and loaded with factory sealed non-perishable products, may also take a short burst. These tasks are dexterous activities that also cycle in the hundreds over a 5 hour stint working when the store is closed. iPod and kettlebell career have enabled me to work safely and lift through the two or three hundred get ups, squats, lunges, cleans, carries, and awkward shoulder, arm, and wrist rotations each day.

Verily, 'tis the working man's day and season that adds the profitable roll call another rank
The kettlebell as a means of saving my vessel, and income streams, through longevity and impregnable joint mobility.

Such an awesome job with the reality of cumulative microtrauma. My wrists, and sternum were points of huge release as she located some residuals from clutching boxes, dozen upon dozen, as they come off a pallet, or from cradling those bastards like children. I rack them at my high shoulder or carry them on my head of they are light. But I'll be damned if my anterior, in its entirety, was hummin'. So I tuned in and she left me good for another day. Dial her up in Exton PA at The Dragon Gym for her girya generosity, and ask about the knots she will decrypt on your skeletal muscle.

Please take the liberty of several readings of this brief issue.
Walt Whitman has brought you A Christmas Greeting.

Welcome, Brazilian brother--thy ample place is ready;
A loving hand--a smile from the north--a sunny instant hall!
(Let the future care for itself, where it reveals its troubles,
impedimentas,
Ours, ours the present throe, the democratic aim, the acceptance and
the faith;)
To thee to-day our reaching arm, our turning neck--to thee from us
the expectant eye,
Thou cluster free! thou brilliant lustrous one! thou, learning well,
The true lesson of a nation's light in the sky,
(More shining than the Cross, more than the Crown,)
The height to be superb humanity.

Cheers!
