Workout notes slowish (ok, downright slow) 4.2 mile walk in 1:01:41. I couldn’t get going at all. Then again, I really didn’t want to; it was a pretty morning and I love Bradley park even with the hills (3 uphills in all) . I encountered ONE car the whole time. There are times when I walk or run outside and I forget that I am supposed to be working out. That isn’t a problem with the treadmill.

Yoga: my entry into headstand is a bit better but I’ve got a ways to go before I can do it with straight knees again.

Social
In general, men are idiots:

raditional therapy is apparently too limiting.

Naked therapy, on the other hand, allows for people to open up, or at least that’s what Sarah White, New York’s naked therapist feels.

“The goal is to show patients I have nothing to hide, and to encourage them to be more honest,” White told The Daily. “For men in particular, seeing a naked woman can really help them focus, look deeply into themselves and speak their minds openly.”

During her sessions, the 24-year-old therapist slowly peels away layers of clothing in her New York office, according to the Mail Online. This innovative approach to therapy has attracted a lot of interest, though most of her clients are men.

However, she doesn’t just cut right to the stripping. Each initial session costs $150 and starts as a one-way video and text chat, reports the Mail. From there clients move to a two-way video chat, and in some cases live consultations, which dramatically increase in price.

Economics
The new jobs report recently came out. Yes, we are still adding jobs.

But
1. Growth is too slow to really attack unemployment; after all there are new job seekers all of the time.

2. Many of these jobs don’t pay all that well; this means there won’t be a lot of new money going into the economy.

So, we don’t have a Republican caliber disaster but we are still not healthy enough.

Science You’ve probably heard about how some cukoos lay their eggs in the nest of other birds and their chicks destroy the other eggs. Yes, that is an evolutionary adaptation. Here is a post on this that gives more details.

So, if there is an intelligent designer, it is a rather cruel and ruthless bastard, no?
