20 years of The Menzingers. I’ve been seeing this band regularly since about 2015 and I’ve only missed them twice. To say they’re my favorite band is an understatement. They’ll make you feel like packing up and running while offering hope for tomorrow. Pure escapism, existentialism, romanticism, and whatever other ism you can think of.

I had to make to make sure to check out the local climbing gym before heading back home tomorrow.

Took a detour on the the way back to Dublin to see where my favorite artist liked to spend his time. Popped into his favorite pub to have a pint and I couldn’t help but think if the number of old gentlemen ever shared a drink with him or what stories they might have.

Currently waiting to get on a plane and trying to gather my thoughts. I worked my last shift at this week. I’ve spent 5 years of my life at this gym. I gave blood, sweat, tears, and broke my body for and at this place.

I’ve met so many wonderful people over the years and you’ve made what I do worth doing. Especially on the days where I didn’t want to.

I would never have been able to do the job that I do without my amazing staff both past and present. You will be sorely missed and you’ve all made a significant impact on my life. Probably more than you all know.

Thank you for keeping me young even when my body is telling me otherwise.

I’ll see you soon and I love you all very much. ❤️

It’s been a long journey, and there’s still work to do. This was my first time outside since I blew out my knee last August. I missed the outdoors more than I can say. I’m not where I want to be yet, and I had to stay cautious, but getting that part of me back felt right. It was a long time coming.

You’re either getting heckled or you’re getting praised.
