Workout & Big News

Slowly getting back into working out with daily activity - did some dead lifting, squat high pulls, pull-ups, a little bit of isometric core work and then a solid 60 minutes of squash against a wily master's player. So much of the sport is about movement and sharing the court and I think I'm slowly understanding that each strike of the ball doesn't end when the ball leaves the strings but rather after you've taken position based on the type of shot your opponent is (hopefully) forced to hit next. My huge weakness appears to be that after an aggressive shot I simply can't follow up and position myself for the volley, drop, or killing rail.

Also, huge news! My brother asked his girlfriend to marry him last Friday and she accepted! She's a really wonderful person and I don't think I've ever heard my brother's voice be any more excited or happy than when he called to relay the news. Congratulations and bravo Derek and Kristen!
