The Latest -
My article for Men's Health magazine should come out this month. I'm very excited about being interviewed for this magazine. Even though the article isn't a fitness article more about pop culture it's still very cool.

Last night my son and I were watching the movie Superman Returns. This was the first time that Griffin has seen any Superman movie. We started watching in the middle of the show so the first thing he says is....

"This is boring."
"just hold on a minute, you'll see it's a good show."
His reply, "it's boring."

Within a minute someone in a bright red cape flies into the picture and Griffin was interested. I could see in his face that he was loving this movie. If you've seen the movie you know there is an ugly scene were Lex Luthor, or as my son says Lex Loser, kicks and hits Superman. Lex let's his henchmen kick and beat the Man of Steel and finally he stabs Superman with a Kryptonite knife. While Superman is sinking into the water I hear crying. My precious, tender hearted son is crying about Superman getting hurt. He says that he hates this movie. I paused the movie and talked to him, telling him it would get better. That's Superman after all, he can't die.

For the rest of the movie we talked how a real hero acts. It was a good moment. Overall we don't let our kids watch violent movies or scary movies so it was somewhat surprising to have a crying moment while watching Superman Returns. But you know, I like that he cried about Superman getting hurt. I want him to be a man but I want that tender heartedness as well.

Mallory had a middle child day yesterday. Griffin is so cute and Olivia has so many more priviledges but I have nothing. Ahhhh, the middle child, talented, smart, driven and yet insecure. A few hugs and some assurances that I'm on her side seems to make everything better.
