At Circus Maximus: If you shouldn’t be running, Circus Maximus is the place to be. BYOKB (bring your own kettlebell, or let someone know in advance and we’ll bring one for you.)

Today at Circus Maximus, for your music listening pleasure, we had Hank Williams (as well as others). Unfortunately, Hank was unavailable for the Super Bowl half time. So instead, the Super Bowl had entertainers I had  little familiarity with. I had heard of were Snoop Dog and Eminem: Snoop Dog because of the Corona beer commercials, but also because we had a F3 compatriot in Charlotte named Snoop (he trained dogs). And that’s why I have heard of Eminem (another F3 compatriot in Charlotte.) “Hank” Williams (September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician…
