Hah! Got ya! Relevance !
The length of your reply is 24 words - which is which is 3x7 (+ 3), the (+3 referring to the multiplication factor).
And, to top it off, the strlen() of the first three words is seven !
You are a sneaky rascal!

Nothing is relevant. Resistance is futile and you both are begging to be assimilated.

No, resistors are futile: you will be integrated.

Really great to hear that such a talented writer is being recognised.
Remains of the day is definitely worth reading and if you want a dystopian novel on human relationships then Never let me go is a great read too if a bit dark.

Interesting. I've been making my way slowly through Ishiguro's The Buried Giant - amazon[^] over a few weeks.
It is so interesting because it is written like a Tolkien fantasy yet there is another story underneath which I haven't figured out yet.
It is some of the best fiction writing I've read in a long time, interesting compelling story where every sentence is necessary and plainly written.
Really great, you should give it a read some time.

Thanks for the recommendation - I will get it for my kindle.

You do know where you are posting this, right? Are we bringing owls to Athens?

Never Let Me Go is such a worthwhile read.

In July, a friend invited me to an outdoor men-only fitness workout. I was going to be out of town for a few weeks, so I asked him to remind me when I got back. Four weeks ago, he saw me and reminded me again, so I decided to join him.
Today, I start my 4th week of meeting early in the morning for a 45 minute workout with a group of men. I feel better for the effort, my endurance is increasing even if my weight isn't decreasing (yet).
Every session is peer led; they decide the workout. It is generally a mixture of running and exercises - push ups, squats, jumping jacks, etc.
Today... run for 1/2 mile, then the real run begins.
In a field about 100 yards long, he had a series of sand bags weighing between 32 pounds and 60 pounds. We were told to partner up. Then the first partner went to the 1/2 mark on the field and 'bear crawled' to the end, did 20 'burpees', 20 sit ups and 'bear crawled' back to the center. The other partner lifted the bag to chest level and threw it... again and again until they reached the 1/2 mark. Meet your partner, switch roles.
When your partner takes the sand bag, they throw it until the reach the starting line, switch bags and start throwing it back to the center.
Repeat until you've worked through all of the bags.
My motivation? A former co-worker had two heart attacks and died this Spring; another co-worker had a heart attack that resulted in by-pass surgery - he returned to work on Monday.
What is your motivation and work out?

Wow, that is good progress. You should keep at; dividends will surely begin soon.
I think we all walk down the street and feel like we're 25 years old, footloose and fancy free. Unfortunately, we are all aging and our health is a ticking time bomb.
My motivation to workout is that I want to drag this out as long as I can. I'd rather get busy living, rather than get busy dying.

Getting my house in France done. A LOT of physical work. And it is hot. Sweat your nuts off doing it.

Unfortunately the bottle of good cheap wine every night doesnt help!

I hate you, I hate you - no such thing in Singapore, excellent food (the other French fetish) but the wine is extortionate, I pay around SGD30 for what you call a good cheap wine.
I love driving trips in France, a baguette, some stinky cheese, and a bottle of wine, drive till you find a lake/pond and have a picnic, wonderful times.

Just to make you feel worse, I have vinyards in front of, and behind my house. :P
The local cave / co-op bag in a boxc, for AOC, is 16 euros for 5 liters. The VDP is even cheaper. And there are many decent wines around, like Chateau Neuf du Pape just up the road. A good one of those is 20 euros though.
No good pubs though, the beer is rubbish and the live music scene is zero. Mind you the skiing is only 3 hours away.
Not aq bad place to live really.
