Nice guy? I try and fail a lot! And I definitely break a sweat when I run. THR knows most of my bad habits.

Having just returned from Las Vegas, if there was ever a time I was going to get angry at the portly, it was in attempting to walk down the Strip on a Saturday afternoon while in a rush to get somewhere.

As for the underlying debate, I see both sides of the argument here. I think we're far too quickly turning to the miracle drugs to fix some problems that could be solved with better diet, less alcohol, more exercise. At the same time, I'm settling into middle age and no longer able to cut 5-10 pounds simply by running an extra 10-15 miles in my weekly training cycle. I'm much shorter, less muscular, and nowhere near as handsome as my friend Airborne, and he's only got me by about 30-35 pounds. I certainly wouldn't want to get in a fistfight with him. If he's pulling that off with some walking, keeping busy, and a decent diet, more power to him. I know he doesn't need Ozempic, just like most of the moms I know at my kids' school don't need it either. But many of them are taking it. The dads now, too, though I'll note it's mostly the most vain among them that are doing so.

Right now I'm angry at Andy for getting that grill discussion going in the BR, because it caused me to buy a new Weber last night that I now have to find time to put together.

You would be fine if you gained 10 lbs

You wouldn't like it and would probably adjust to lose it. Lifestyle is a choice. My kids see photos of me when I was 29 - 32 and say I look older than I do now. I agree. That said my tendons and ligaments know the truth. Keep putting up those miles. The second you stop the little support players atrophy and it makes it VERY hard to boot up the system again.

Onward

Inspired me to open up the Summit for burgers

If I learned anything, it's that I need to either clean the hell out of it or get a new one because I probably came thisclose to a grease fire explosion in my backyard.

You act more quickly than I do

But I sure as shit will have Forshaw put mine together.

FYI Billy is going to Ladue Fifth Grade Center next year but James will remain at STC. No idea about HS for either. Priory, Chaminade, Ladue and maybe CBC and SLU all in play.

We need to get to get with Jinx soon.

p.s. Were you in Las Vegas for U2? I thought you already saw it?

I'd been eyeing one at your favorite place.

Costco had a pretty good deal on the larger Genesis. The movers broke something in my 16 year old Weber something or other (maybe a small Genesis?), and I figured it was about time to replace it anyway.

No DeSmet on that HS list? I'd otherwise consider SLUH for my boys, but Charlie is drawn to my FIL's alma mater (DeSmet) through their summer camps and the possibility that he may move over in 7th grade when it opens in Fall 2025. I can't see us going to Priory or Chaminade, and I suppose CBC could happen under certain circumstances. G13 is definitely going to SJA like her mom unless something crazy happens.

And yes, I went back to Vegas for a second U2 show. The Missus didn't go first trip, so I took her on a return one.

I'd love to get together with you guys - you know where to find me!

Not Chaminade? I take it back! Chadwick is a horrible guy. *
