Just learned that the NYS department of Parks rents some of their cabins out at a cut rate in the wintertime. This one in Wellsley Island has a view of the Thousand Islands and goes for $290/wk. It's heated and sleeps 4.
Seems like a good place to read a book. Or write one.
To become a millionaire, mimic their habits:
1. Read a lot
2. Get up early
3. Pay yourself first
4. Live on less than you make
5. Utilize the power of compounding
6. Track spending, income, & investments
An 80 year old man who lifts is as strong as a 30 year old man who doesn't.
After the age of 30 muscle mass decreases by approximately 3-8% every decade. This rate of decline becomes even faster after the age of 60.
This reminds me of my dad who decided to start lifting & running at 40 years old.
Now at the age of 76, his body and brain are as active as ever.
He doesn't need any form of assistance, he's living independently and doing it on his terms.
A couple sessions a week of weight training is the ultimate form of delayed gratification.
You're trading 90 minutes a week for a lifetime of mobility, strength, and brain health.
I'd make that trade in a heartbeat.
I know some people in their old age who look back and regret not taking better care of themselves.
They got to a point where there was no return.
You don't want to let that happen to you.
It's better to be the oldest person in the weight room than the youngest person in the nursing home.
Lift now so you can reap the benefits later.

Nitrites are bad for you = another ridiculous dietary myth. Nitrates & #Nitrites are naturally made in our bodies & can convert to Nitric Oxide which dilates blood vessels, lowers blood pressure & enhances physical performance. Eat up that Charcuterie! #meat#health
My three-year-old got into a little habit of lying so I read this to him several nights in a row and then he said, “Daddy, lying is so so bad.“
Matilda Who told Lies, and was Burned to Death, Hilaire Belloc, 1907
Matilda told such Dreadful Lies,
It made one Gasp and Stretch one's Eyes;
Her Aunt, who, from her Earliest Youth,
Had kept a Strict Regard for Truth,
Attempted to Believe Matilda:
The effort very nearly killed her,
And would have done so, had not She
Discovered this Infirmity.
For once, towards the Close of Day,
Matilda, growing tired of play,
And finding she was left alone,
Went tiptoe to the Telephone
And summoned the Immediate Aid
Of London's Noble Fire-Brigade.
Within an hour the Gallant Band
Were pouring in on every hand,
From Putney, Hackney Downs, and Bow.
With Courage high and Hearts a-glow,
They galloped, roaring through the Town,
'Matilda's House is Burning Down!'
Inspired by British Cheers and Loud
Proceeding from the Frenzied Crowd,
They ran their ladders through a score
Of windows on the Ball Room Floor;
And took Peculiar Pains to Souse
The Pictures up and down the House,
Until Matilda's Aunt succeeded
In showing them they were not needed;
And even then she had to pay
To get the Men to go away,
It happened that a few Weeks later
Her Aunt was off to the Theatre
To see that Interesting Play
The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.
She had refused to take her Niece
To hear this Entertaining Piece:
A Deprivation Just and Wise
To Punish her for Telling Lies.
That Night a Fire did break out--
You should have heard Matilda Shout!
You should have heard her Scream and Bawl,
And throw the window up and call
To People passing in the Street--
(The rapidly increasing Heat
Encouraging her to obtain
Their confidence) -- but all in vain!
For every time she shouted 'Fire!'
They only answered 'Little Liar!'
And therefore when her Aunt returned,
Matilda, and the House, were Burned.
On the 1906 CA heat wave, Baldasare Forestiere dug a villa underground with just pickax & shovel. He spent 40 years excavating 10 acres of rooms, tunnels, chapel, aquarium, & courtyards for farming & citrus orchards. Watch the video by @kirstendirksen 🍋🍊 faircompanies.com/videos/land-wa…
