This and that

Saturday I did something horrible to my back. I think I might have slept on it in a weird way Friday night and then I went to step Saturday morning. Frank, had us doing some crazy stuff at the end with our weights and after we finished my back seized up. From that moment on through the rest of Saturday I moved like a woman who is 9 month's pregnant. (I'd say that I feel your pain, Tara, but I'm pretty sure a sore back for a day doesn't cut it.)

Anyway, I spent the better part of Saturday laying on my couch, icing and catching up on my DVR. One thing I watched was some Primtime special on Teddy Kennedy. They, of course, showed many photos of Teddy with his two older brothers. I've seen many of these pictures before but this time I was kind of struck by what a good looking man Teddy was back in the day. I would even go so far as to say that he was probably the best looking of the Kennedy brothers that went into politics. The eldest Kennedy brother, Joe, died in WWII. Teddy is in the middle below. I guess he's the only one we have seen grow to be an old man.

As a side note, Frank told me after class on Saturday that he started a cheesecake company called Frankly Delicious. Go to his website and buy cheesecakes. Then come to his class with me and do step to burn them off.

Oh, and one more interesting side note. The last time I hurt my back like this was when I had a dream that I was digging trenches and had a strict deadline. I woke up and felt like someone had taken the shovel I was digging with and beat me in the back with it. No lie.
