My brother Ed is getting stronger and stronger now that he works as a prison guard (I’m sure he has a technical title that is more official sounding, but frankly, I don’t know what it is). The following picture shows off his muscles.

Jessica brought me into the other room to show me the muscles in that picture and say, “You’re brother’s muscles look toned [or something to that effect].”

That inspired me enough to go work out 6 days in a row now. And I’m going to keep going. There will be no excuses (besides death and sickness) for not going to the gym. I will become ripped by June 19th when Ed and I are ushers at my sister’s wedding. There may be pain involved, and the last 6 days have had soreness, but I will win!
