The Mastermind

GK is always thinking about how to maximize the use of his time. His mind is always full of story ideas, solutions for problems he's facing with his current big project (thesis), details of the upcoming transition from student to working man.

He is also very physical. All of these thoughts prevent productivity during the day and sleep (for both of us) at night if he doesn't get some exercise. Preferably surfing or climbing, GK needs to do something every day to wear him out so he can focus.

If he can't surf or climb, he generally chooses some form of exercise that will lead to more effective/enjoyable surfing or climbing in the future.

Last week he came home complaining that his legs were sore. Then he said, "It's probably because of these ankle weights I've been wearing around town all day."

"What!? You walked around New York City all day with ankle weights on?" I asked.

Yes, he did. If he's got to be moving, better make the most of it.

The next day after getting his books together and his lunch made, he grabbed his finger stregthener grippy thing and started strapping the weights together like this: When I graduated from Grad School and he looked like this:

People said he looked like the unibomber. Well, just look at him now. Desperate times call for desperate measures I suppose.
