Cardiac is your brother? Get him over here, he's a quality poster.

I've tried. He doesn't want anyone to know I'm related to him since all of my masturbation posts.

But I did bring you RaDawg. He's a radiology resident at Duke. Very sharp guy. We grew up in the same ward.

And look how you turned out . . .






Just a small joke.

I don't exercise on Sunday. Some combination of:

• I like to have at least one day for my body to recover each week, and it might as well be Sunday.
• Sundays are often too busy for any exercise time.
• I was raised with pretty strict Sunday rules (such as no changing out of church clothes), and a part of me still equates sweating on the Sabbath with sinning.
• If I run or ride my bike, my kids will see it as justification for doing things that we currently don't allow on Sunday.
• My wife wouldn't approve.

Sunday evenings were always a great time to play pickup basketball in my neighborhood. Everybody was LDS and I don't remember anybody having a problem with it. My dad was bishop and the Stake President's kids always played.

These days I don't exercise on Sundays, unless you count taking my daugher to the park on her bike. I also don't exercise much on Monday through Saturday.

I never participated in said pick-up games for fear of condemnation.

While I did grow up in a rather strict household with regards to the sabbath, exercise was never really discouraged. I feel like a good run or lifting weights is as spiritual of an experience as any other I have during the week, including church. And it definitely seems more spiritual than the endless irritating meetings some people's callings require them to endure on Sundays.

In my agnostic household, Sunday exercise was not only allowed but required. We were required to go to swimming practice and to go ski race practice. If you didn't go, you had to do yard work or shovel the snow. I gladly went to practice.
