Thanks for the beautiful thoughts DD and Fitty....we just came back from the burial. Everyone is happy and relieved in many ways.
Now, I'll go back to my normal life. I will try to work out today, although I am quite a bit tired (we had an all night viewing...some of us Cubans do this...) and need to get some sleep. I slept on a freaking little couch, so my body is beat up.
Anyway, again, thanks for the thoughts and prayers...

Sorry about your loss, man. But she had a full life.
I like to counter sadness with a little humor.
I have a co-worker that has (had?) colitis. She ended up having her colon removed.
Her first day back in the office she made an interesting observation: She now had a semi-colon.

Fitty, DD, Doms Arch...thanks for your thoughts...
By the way DOMS, grandms ended up not even having a semi-colon, she got first diagnosed with colon cancer and got it removed....
Wanna get away?
Don't worry chief, I laughed when I read your post and I was simply trying to make a joke out of it myself...sorry for my sick humor....
No bs, she did get diagnosed with it....

Not much??? Looks like a Great one to me my Friend!!!
Nice return Tony. 
Thanks Arch, Pylon...
Yesterday's workout was excellent, don't get me wrong. It's just that there was nothing much I could say because I was tired and because it is the same workout and I had nothing to comiment.
The only thing that did happen to me was that my hand hurt, which I am used to already. I am going to take it as a normal ocurrence (there was no swelling or pain after the workout) and I tweaked my shoulder a bit when I threw a hook into the bag. For a moment there I couldn't throw any more punches but then it all went away...
See ya'll later....

Please be careful, I used to rub wd40 (Yes, wd40) on my shoulders,elbows and wrists when I was done w/ a heavy session of bagwork and sparring when I was getting ready for a fight, consider it, you'd be suprised how great it makes your joints feel!!!
Interesting Mike. If things got as they seem, as I have no pain anywhere today, it'll all be Ok....
Thanks for the suggestion...
I know it sounds insane, but you massage it in, and I promise it makes your joints feel 100% better!!!
Today was my weights day.
Workout as follows:
DB Chest Press: 11 x 45 pds. Right on target (Last w/o it was 15 x 40)
DB Flyes: 11 x 22.5 pounds (that was pretty much right on target and one more rep than last time).
Inclined Hammer Curl (both arms at the same time): 13 x 25 pd (same).
Concentration Curls: 9 x 25 pd (left), 9 x 25 pd (right). Increased by one
DB Triceps Extension: 12 x 45 pd (that's more like it)
Definitely happy with the workout and improvement. I'll keep on keeping on.....
Awesome improvements my Friend, solid w/o!!!
Thanks Sir Arch.....trying my best....

Interesting...I'll look it up....
So I took two forced days off. Got back from work wednesday and thursday after 10:00 pm, so I just rested.
Anyway, today was a special workout. I did something I hadn't done yet.
Split: 3 minutes per round, 1/2 minute rest, no water throughout the workout, hardcore football style...
Shadow boxing w/o dumbbells was done with 16 oz gloves, rather than the 12 oz gloves I use for the heavy bag.
* 5 rounds heavy bag: I went at it pretty hard and my arms were weary when I finshed the 5th round.
*1 round of shadow boxing with a 10 pound dumbbell per hand: I am putting together more combinations and throwing more punches. Doing much better...
*6 ROUNDS SHADOW BOXING (P.R.): I said, what the hell, what's the worse that could happen? When I finished my arms were worn out and I was breathing harder than usual, but 7 total rounds of shadow boxing is a personal record for me and it's another goal of mine, to increase the shadow time.
*1 round speed bag: I had to sacrifice 1 round of speed bag for 2 more rounds of shadow boxing. I was literally worthless during this last round. I could barely lift my arms and my shoulders were simply not responding. Still, when I could lift the arms, I did pretty well.
All in all, very, very excited about the workout. It's showing me that my endurance is as I expected, very good and my body is acclimating to the workouts. I am thinking of running a mile on sunday as my day off.....I may chicken out, who knows...
Good night...

Excellent my Friend, keep setting the bar higher for yourself and you just keep blowin that away!!!
Thanks Arch, your words always help me keep going. In fact, I was in a bit of pain (wrist) and tired and didn't want to lift anything today.
But I did....
