5'11" is only a good height if you can do something that someone who is 5'11" shouldn’t be able to do, like dunk.

Which one of you will be adopting Mr. B?

Fortunately this blog had Sports stories I can’t find anywhere else AND a Broad scope of coverage while also not having Political coverage and strong political points of view, which I, a reader, obviously care about very much. 

Kind of jumping in here, but it also took me a little while to figure out how/when I needed to eat to coincide with working out.
