Summer Of Fitness
“First attempt’s always a failure, so it means you’re gonna be a loser.
Wonder what you’ll do then.”

Keep Droping-In around the country and world and keep the stories coming!
Hey Tim & Andrew,
I’m writing to you from Morsasco, Italy, a tiny town of 500 people up in the mountains. People turn their heads when they hear us speak English here.
As I was walking down the road I saw a woman in a CrossFit shirt! Turns out there’s a CrossFit box just 15 minutes away. It took me a couple weeks to get up the nerve to go (my Italian is toddler-level, and almost no one here speaks English, even in the neighboring towns) but finally I walked in and signed up for classes. I’m so glad I did. It’s probably the most immersive, least touristy experience I could have here.
I don’t always understand the rapid-fire Italian, but I do understand the WODs, and thanks to CFPA I can keep up with the class. There is nothing more bonding than being in pain (ie, Type 2 Fun) together, right? I’m four classes in and going strong. Thank you for helping me build the strength and confidence to feel I can step into a CrossFit gym anywhere and know what I’m doing.
Looking forward to seeing you both when I return in July. Please say Hi to Ali (and everyone) for me! Pics attached. —Inge
See you in class.
Tim

Landman by: Taylor Sheridan
“Landman” is a Taylor Sheridan series set in the West Texas oil boom, focusing on the lives of “landmen,” who navigate the industry’s complexities, from securing land leases to managing the consequences of the boom. The show delves into the gritty reality of the oil business, exploring the lives of roughnecks, wildcat billionaires, and the impact of the boom on the region’s climate, economy, and geopolitics. It’s inspired by the “Boomtown” podcast, which documented the Permian Basin’s oil boom.
Stream it on Paramount+ or buy the season on Prime for $10 like I did.
Tim’s Takeaway: Get ready to lose some sleep. My family was traveling for a week so I watched a few series and some movies. Brace yourselves for my recommendations. Landman has been on my list for months. And it was worth the wait. It’s definitely gritty and feels very real. Like when you watch something that describes what you would imagine even better.
Thank you for your support.
I look forward to what we will do together.
