^^^true, true. reminds me of the gladwell-popularized fact that most NHL players are born in the first third of the year. the theory goes that kids born earlier in the year tend to be older for their grade or division than kids born later in the year. the 9 or 10 months can make a big difference when you're little, so early-birthday kids are overselected for competitive teams because they're just bigger and stronger and more coordinated than kids younger than they are. path dependency takes over and the relatively younger kids never make up the gap.

or so i comfort my november-born, always-one-of-the-youngest-kids-in-the-class self.

I'm going to make sure my kid gets held back in kindergarten

don't you train at Blenderate's gym? Or was it Tigerak's gym? If you go to latter you'll probably see Frank Yang at some point.

going camping this weekend with a bunch of bluegrass musicians. 

Have you listened to Yo yo Ma's thing, The Goat Rodeo Sessions? It's really good.

Also Trampled by Turtles are good.

ETA: this video badly exacerbates my itch to switch to pure powerlifting.

Main takeaway from this video - if you put a hippy on steroids you get a viking.
