- Exercise ~5 hours a week
- Skip breakfast
- Sleep 7-9 hours
- Lots of fat and protein
- Few beers while doing yard work (really hits the spot on hot days).

Love cigarettes, pasta and popcorn, but they make me feel like shit, so I don’t really do them. My wife is always looking for reasons, and occasionally she’ll find a real gem, but to paraphrase the end of, “At Woodward’s Gardens,” by Robert Frost:

“Understanding things is overrated, it’s knowing what to do with things that counts.”
