Smithers, for a dedicated gym guy, you eat a lot of sweets, don’t you?
Or does it just seem like it


I will have you know that the big guy himself, The Rock, used to eat a Snickers every day before training! ;D

For certain extreme exercisers ...they can "afford" more "junk" in their diet?

Is anyone headed out for sweet boxing day deals? My girlfriend is wanting to score a new laptop for her architecture software.

She has higher processing power/memory needs than I even I do. That's a first in any relationship I've been in!

I've heard of Boxing Day, but only as a British/Canadian thing. We don't do it here.

It's also the second day of Christmas, and the feast day of St Stephen. As the first Christian martyr, with no idea from Scripture when he was killed, he was assigned December 26, the day after Christmas Day, by the church. So this is the day that Good King Wenceslaus looked out, on the feast of Stephen.

Smithers, how did you celebrate? Horse racing or football? Or something you’d rather not share in a public forum? 🤣🤣🤣

From USA Today:
“Just like how football has become a part of celebrating Thanksgiving in many American household, Boxing Day has its own sports traditions. Almanac reported that in recent years the sports of choice have been watching horse races and football matches between local rivals.”

Happy Circumcision and Name of Jesus Day! (Happy New Year is soooo mundane). 😇

Thought I'd check in to say "Hi" and see if anyone else survived the New Year. Hope all is well with everyone. It's been mighty quiet around these parts lately.
