i have some good news on the exercise front. there is a world class powerlifter in my small city and he has agreed to take me on and train me. i am finally going to start realising my dream of becoming a contender in powerlifting. i know most people don't give one whit about powerlifting, but for me, i feel like i just won the lottery. :carrot:
