Most of the posts I wrote from 2014-2017 remind me of that South Park episode where the Hybrid people smell their own farts.

Conamora and Ashlyn called me a soccer mom last Summer (or maybe it was Thanksgiving/Christmas) while I was walking around with the camera during the workout. They might be right.
