My bench shirt and my back up bench shirt are being tailored, so I used my back-up, back-up. It’s about 10 years old and too big, so the weight’s were light on this week’s bench day. My house has been a germ factory for a few weeks. Both my daughters have been sick and I’ve been sick too. My wife had a few days off this week, so she has been a big help. She’s been taking care of everybody and holding down the fort. I just hope she doesn’t get sick…
