But as the kids used to say, &#8220;Whatever.&#8221; My knees were hurting at the gym so I didn&#8217;t get to challenge the women&#8217;s record holder in the front squat. I usually try to keep up with her because, well, it&#8217;s a goal isn&#8217;t it? My stomach has felt kind of funny since Saturday afternoon when I had a tuna melt at Kenny and Zuke&#8217;s. I wondered if my dinner from Super Burrito Express needed an antidote, but I&#8217;ve since heard that several people from the gym have had the stomach &#8216;flu.

I guess it&#8217;s not safe to rely on the Good Samaritan laws any longer, and you can be sued for trying to help people. Their suggestion was just to keep walking. I suppose there&#8217;s no reason to get the BLS for Healthcare Professionals cert any more, but I may just do Community CPR. Just like anyone else who took the EMT classes, I&#8217;ve had a heck of a lot more CPR practice than most people. Fortunately, I&#8217;ve never had to use it beyond what the paramedics taught me: It&#8217;s not really, &#8220;Airway, Breathing, Circulation,&#8221; it&#8217;s &#8220;Airway, Freeway.&#8221; (In my case it was modified to, &#8220;Airway, 911.&#8221;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I suppose it&#8217;s not a big surprise I&#8217;ve gained a bit because I&#8217;ve been eating like a pig at lunch lately.
