Recording an album is a totally different experience with a Kemper. No more anxiety about how the tones will sit in the mix... If it's not working, you can re-amp it.
Starting Strength is fine, but would be even better if it was a shorthand in your comment for "training intelligently," as this would then include any progressive program involving compound resistance training and conditioning.
Not sure wtf I'd do with 120s. Too heavy to put overhead for much more than a rep or two unless you're an absolute animal. Too light for anything else, other than maybe bench I guess?

I have a solution for you: be less productive. Seriously. Ramp down slowly so no one noticed, but just stop caring how much you get done. It doesn't matter. Or at least it doesn't matter nearly as much as you or your kids.
Robert Jordan was notoriously bad at writing women and the... physical descriptions are pretty bad, but to his credit, women in his books are not second class citizens. Some of the most interesting, influential and powerful characters are women.
I've heard 7-10 referred to as "the slog." It definitely slows down a bit, but I still enjoyed them. There's a lot of character development that you don't really recognize is even happening until later.
This sounds optional in the same way that company socials are optional. Maybe you can skip it once, but too many times and people start asking questions.
I was just at a wedding and talked to a guy on the Nobel selection committee for Physics. He writes software for particle physics experiments. One of those conversations that remind you just how far the spectrum of human intelligence extends.
There's a solid argument for keeping those books for their historical value. Like how Mein Kampf is in a lot of libraries, but not the lunatic ravings of some modern equivalent.
