Soooo, who’s as excited as me to go see Interstellar this weekend? I bought two tickets for Lisa and I to go see it this Sunday afternoon in IMAX. Admittedly, I’m a little biased. I’ll go see anything Christopher Nolan makes. The man can do no wrong. He could write and direct a movie about… Read more

Happy Halloween everybody! I, for one, can’t stand Halloween. Not a fan. I’m always asked if I’m going to dress up or anything and I always respond with some form of eye roll. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I “get” that some people love it, view it as a day to have fun… Read more

Anyone go see Gone Girl last weekend? It’s the latest film from one of my favorite directors David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club, The Social Network) starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, based off the best selling novel by Gillian Flynn (who, in a rare feat, also helmed screenwriting responsibilities for the big picture adaptation).

I’m heading down to Washington, DC this weekend for the NSCA Personal Training Conference. It’s the first time I’ve been invited to speak by the NSCA, and, sheepishly, it’s the first time I’ve ever attended an NSCA event.

Well, if you’re reading this post you know I landed safely in the UK!! I purposely didn’t program this post to go up automatically because 1) I’m superstitious and 2) due to my proclivity for superstition, I somehow convinced myself that if I pre-programmed this post to go up – due to travel – something… Read more

You know the saying “the calm before the storm?” Yeah, well I’m experiencing the opposite of that right now. I leave for London in the middle of next week for mine and Dean Somerset’s 2-day workshop, and while I’m super excited for my first trip to Europe – Note to self: DO NOT, for the… Read more

It’s hard to believe that two weeks from today I’ll be in London walking the streets taking in the sights and sounds and (hopefully) not coming across as an annoying American tourist. I’ll be getting in early Thursday morning after an overnight flight and I’m sure I’ll be knackered to the gills, but hoping to… Read more
