Farmer’s Walk

The most practical and useful lift to attempt in the gym?

Freedom

Equivalent to free +‎ -dom. Cognate with North Frisian fridoem (“freedom”), Dutch vrijdom (“freedom”), Low German frīdom (“freedom”), Middle High German vrītuom (“freedom”), Norwegian fridom (“freedom”).

Become the jester

It’s more courageous to become the jester and joke about life than be a negative naysayer!

Life is extremely short

Now what do we do? I think that we should strive to stay outside as much as possible regardless of the weather. Hit the gym as hard as you can in the morning. Slam espressos and get yourself energized. Say hello to strangers and be a friendly neighbor. Brainstorm creative ideas. Strive to create more art each day. Dream big and don’t stop pushing towards goals that seem out of reach!

Virtue

From Middle English vertuvirtue, borrowed from Anglo-Norman vertuvirtu, from Latin virtus (“manliness, bravery, worth, moral excellence”), from vir (“man”). Doublet of vertu. See virile. In this sense, displaced Old English cræft, whence Modern English craft.

  1. Accordance with moral principles; conformity of behaviour or thought with the strictures of morality; good moral conduct.
  2. A particular manifestation of moral excellence in a person; an admirable quality.
  3. Specifically, each of several qualities held to be particularly important, including the four cardinal virtues, the three theological virtues, or the seven virtues opposed to the seven deadly sins.
  4. An inherently advantageous or excellent quality of something or someone; a favourable point, an advantage.
  5. A creature embodying divine power, specifically one of the orders of heavenly beings, traditionally ranked above angels and below archangels.
  6. Specifically, moral conduct in sexual behaviour, especially of women; chastity.
  7. The inherent power of a god, or other supernatural being.

Home gyms are the best

Home gyms are clutch because I can workout multiple times per day. If I stop inside to get some water or use the restroom, I can get a quick pump in and head back out there.

Halteman Family Meats at the Reading Terminal Market

Without the delicious beef from Philadelphia’s local farms in Lancaster, what would I do? I guess you can get beef from other places like Whole Foods, Costco, etc, but the Reading Terminal Market is the go to for Philadelphians. L. Halteman Family Country Foods provides me with my fuel and they have been feeding Philadelphia for over a century. Just go to the back of the terminal and greet the beautiful faces of the Pennsylvania Dutch. You can’t go wrong with anything they sell.
