Good morning and happy Saturday!
In 2017, I set a simple goal: deadlift 500 lbs. I failed at this multiple times—in front of friends and strangers. Both times, I was told, “You’re this close.” It took totally resetting my workouts and following a new plan, but I hit 500 lbs. in March of 2018.
2017 was also the year I really picked up the dream of being able to write full time. Now, I’ve tried—I’d hardly say I’ve failed—but in the past three months, I’ve heard a familiar phrase: “You’re this close.” One even went so far as saying I’m at the most painful point. I just need to push a little further.
So, let’s hope history repeats itself soon—because this is way more painful than I let on.

Three Mancuso Men go on a once in a life-time trip and experience something I only want to repeat with my own son.

Phone calls before 8 a.m. always startled Jimmy. In his mind, there was never a good reason to call that early. Fortunately, on this particular morning, he had already been up for an hour before it rang on his table.
As always, I appreciate the read, and if you enjoyed it, please give it a share or a like—everything helps!
God bless,
