Thanks Pat, Welcome back!
We transferred Mom to a Hospice House where we are believing that with there help she will be made comfortable till the end of her time comes. I am trying like never before to be there for my wife and her siblings as I remover how hard it was when my parents passed.

Tim - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Cliff - Congratulations on the weight loss. I was making good progress but just got back from visiting family and attending the French Quarter Festival in New Orleans. I'm not going near a scale for a while. :yikes:
We had a great time and I have confirmed that crawfish bread and Abita Amber makes for a great late breakfast. And because all the recipes are different, I sampled four different kinds of bread pudding.

[I]Pull ups were the tough part of the WOD! The runs went easier than yesterday. I did the thrusters in subsets of 6, 5, 4, 3, 3 which helped. Ended with some rippage on my hands but, I wasn't the last one on the board! :D[/I]

[I]I kind of wanted to try 255# (85% of 300#), but felt scared. However, 245# felt not too bad.

The row was tough. However, during the last 1500m, I found that 10 hard pulls with small pulls in between helped easily get through 100m.[/I]
