Haven't had a chance to stop by the library, so I picked a book off of Melissa's shelf. I will use the "People's History of the United States" as my back up book when I am between library books. So far, it is a look at US history from the eyes of those who were fucked over by rich, white male Europeans. Understandably, given the size of that underclass, the book is rather large.

Marriage of Figaro and Front Squats

Did Barbell front squats for the first time in 2.5 months. Was glad to see I could do them without undue wrist pain.

Front Squat 5 X 3
Warmup 45 x7, 95 x 3, 115 x 3
145, 155, 165F(1), 155, 155

Then did 10 count Sissy test with 1.5 pood weight in 9:28

Shows: Went to Lincoln Center to wait 2 hours for Rush tickets to Marriage of Figaro. Got the tickets, met up with my sister and went to the show. It was really enjoyable, with the typical Met production budget. Had a great time and was happy to introduce Lara to Opera. Next time, will pick up ballet tickets, since she is probably more into that.

Reading: Finished "All the Shah's Men." Solid book with an appropriate level of detail and explanation for someone of my knowledge regarding Iran (none). It is obviously pro-Mossedegh and anti-American involvement in foreign coups, but still presents an interesting background on where mideast terror, particularly Iran-sponsored terror,comes from. Increased my already existing desire to read a good biography of Eisenhower.
