Father of kids that somehow turned out great. History buff, Chargers fan and Padres fan (so comfortable with tragedy). Occasionally lifts heavy metal objects, heavy being a relative term. For work I do software, but old school desktop/DB type stuff.

The Y at 10:30 would surely have qualified as Dante's 10th level of hell. It's like being Sisyphus but you have to wait your turn for the rock.

Went to the gym and nobody came up to poke me to see if I was alive, so better than last Saturday.
