Day 6

Short entry today.

Art is out today, attending the birth of his third child. We’ve been suggesting names, but he’s kind of particular. I’m looking forward to hearing the final decision - if he’s reading this, how about Esme? (It’s a J.D. Salinger character’s name, which is always in good taste.)

In his absence, Sam, Avina and I were left to our own devices for today’s workout. Art had given us a workout to do, but after a series of sit-ups, ball slams, and burpees, we decided to work on our back muscles instead. It was a good workout, but when it was done, we were happy to call it a day. It’s just not the same without Art.

I stopped at the grocery store to pick up provisions for my daughter’s birthday cake (chocolate tres leches cake!) and a piece of salmon for lunch. After a grilled salmon sandwich, I was ready for a nap.

And when I woke up, the temperature was dropping and the rain had moved in. Because I’m not ready yet to do my walks in the rain and because I’ll be playing basketball in the morning, I decided to make this a rest day.

And that’s that. The Crown awaits as soon as my wife gets home.
