This NY Times story and the video clip embedded in it was quite moving and provocative. I think of myself as a little busier than is really manageable sometimes, and I've had some aches and pains and an injury requiring surgery as a result of my athletic endeavors, and sometimes I wish the cat wouldn't meow so forcefully and so often for no reason I can determine (though having that little tiny screaming puppy for a few days gave me some perspective). But Melanie Roach...shown here training in her gym...holy cow. She is really driven. Talk about perseverance. And triceps. I hope she makes it to Beijing.

The marquee on the church down the street has invited us for a week now to "Hear Pastor Dan Preach on Maximum Motherhood." I have cringed at the thought. What might Pastor Dan's idea of "Maximum" motherhood be? Eighteen kids, as recently seen online? The 36-hour day? Raising one's own kids, then one's grandkids (because the grown kids can't find work)? What a happy surprise for his congregation were he to talk about "Mighty Mormon Muscle Mama"!
Thanks for posting this, Em.
