When My Partner Does Well at the Gym

My partner, my long term relationship of nearly 20 years (a.k.a the LTR) always has an intersting way of expressing himself.

He's a competitive powerlifter and won the silver medal for bench press in his age and weight class in the Gay Games in Chicago this past summer. He set the state record for bench press in VA, also in his age and weight class.

I come home tonight from dinner with a friend to find him elated -- he put up 315 pounds, twice, in the decline bench, the most he's ever done (that's three 45 pound plates on each side of the bar).

So what's he doing to celebrate? Dancing around the house, singing and listening on his IPOD to Shania's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman."

You go, LTR!
