Notes - Writing this late Christmas evening.  Great weekend, amazing time with my kids, girlfriend, ex wife, her boyfriend and her family.  I am lucky to be able to enjoy this and have everyone be amiable.  It's been a long 4 years since I first learned that my ex wife wanted a divorce.  I have learned a lot, and become a much wiser person and better man.  I am grateful for the experiences, and for my good health and fortune to be able to enjoy training like this and enjoying the life benefits of strength.  I am winding down 2016 in a very positive way and looking forward to a great 2017.
