The Forge will NOT have a regular schedule tomorrow for the holiday. There will be an open session time when any Forge member may come and do a workout but there will be no regular training or classes. If you are wanting to come and workout together during the open session please call or text a trainer. Thanks and have a wonderful holiday weekend.
]]>Great job, Damion, and THANK YOU!!!
Damion talking about the EPOCH.
“In all the controversies over what the causes of diversities might be, no one seems to have paid much attention to the factor in the environment that has the most obvious effect on any organism: food.”
- Michael Crawford & David Marsh, The Driving Force: Food in Evolution and the Future
“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.”
- La Rochefoucauld
“He that takes medicine and neglects diet, wastes the skill of the physician.”
- Chinese Proverb
Stomach: A slave that must accept everything that is given to it, but which avenges wrongs as slyly as does the slave.”
- Emile Souvester
I found this listed as an “improvement” of the well-known proverb:
“Give a man a fish, you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish, and you will not have to listen to his incessant whining about how hungry he is.”—Author unknown
