Signs are taken for wonders. "We would see a sign!"
The word within a word, unable to speak a word,
Swaddled with darkness.

Happy Festivus!

Forgot what you were referencing for a second.
 
‘Tis the season!

He who smiles rather than rages is always the stronger.

Some trainers feel the prevailing methods of reeling in clients and retaining them are unethical. My erstwhile trainer who too worked for a commercial chain had a hard time reconciling his principles with certain business tactics, and lamented that most of his colleagues had no such compunction. He quit and enlisted for the army (first having had to undergo laser treatments to remove the tattoo of his mother’s name on his neck, since they didn’t allow it). Incidentally, we got on famously even though he fit the ideal type (see: Max Weber) of someone who isn’t particularly known for embracing differences: a bro-ish personal trainer living in one of the more conservative areas of San Diego, has a former-cop father, not hesitant to try to physically fight someone if they cut off his motorcycle, and is a vehement Trump supporter.
 
The only aspect to him that perhaps belies all this is that he is a vegan.

“Meanwhile in L.A., a neighborhood barber was just arrested for selling drugs. Blew my mind. I’ve been going to him for years. I had no idea he was a barber.”

I love how the bios of some Grindr guys address a certain subset/group of gays and add “to the front of line.” As if there’s really a line of people waiting to get into their pants.

Anyway... In either event he probably wasn’t being honest. And whenever someone brags too much or makes extravagant claims/promises so early on I’ve learned to take it with a grain of salt.

I’ve enjoyed many Lifetime flicks and their ridiculous titles. Guilty pleasure.

LOL, yes indeed. The best part of the error is that I'm a lawyer. I would like to blame auto-correct or my phone, but I'm sure I typed it on my laptop.

Just some levity:
 

She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
— To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
 
 
— Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 17-28)
