Pull up a chair, and let me tell you a story! My question is: what is your current Life Count of Pullups at this point? and as a sub-question how many were performed naked? Another excellent and inspiring story to start a new year of life.

No idea how many total pullups, tens of thousands. The most I ever did, naked or not, is 40.

The memories/horrors of Jr. High! Life changing, indeed.

I often dreamed of punching Diehl or Nichols if I saw them again.

Mark, I.M.P.R.E.S.S.I.V.E. Your tale reveals a lot about you but also about how culture (family) and environment shape all of us in deep and lasting ways. Fortunately, your family was one that inculcated fundamental resilience, useful life skills and powerful habits in the younger generation. Not everyone is so lucky in this world...
