HOTWORX REVIEW: Sweat, Bond, and Thrive Together!

best thing about batman is that he's a superficially grimdark character, gothic & brooding & angst ridden etc..........but then it turns out he has a million hobbies, regularly goes on adventures with his besties, and has a dozen adopted kids he's raising with his devoted foster dad. good for him

Going to keep an eye on things while on a newly prescribed medicine for my heart, but occasionally I've been feeling like crying from joy/relief. I didn't know it was possible to live with little to zero chest pain and other issues on a daily basis.

I started feeling its improvements on day 2, and then all day yesterday has been like a literal weight off my chest. Slept a bit for the night, woke up around 4am and I'm just... Breathing so comfortably. I feel relaxed. That feeling of pressure in my chest is hardly there anymore.

This cardiologist said I'd notice changes after just a day or two if it helps. And it's happening!!

Guess it's very much confirming I've had pericarditis for who-knows-how-long. Could've been overlooked since having my cardiac ablation in 2019. Been so freaking rough living with this stuff. All my symptoms were assumed to be part of my WPW Syndrome ('cause the ablation didn't get all of the accessory pathways.) This sort of inflammation can be caused by heart procedures though. -sigh- Why didn't anyone watch out for that or suspect it earlier?

I'll be having a new echo done in a month or two (forgot which appointment date it is among other tests coming up). Crossing my fingers I don't have the pericardia effusion there anymore too if the pericarditis is getting tackled by this new med! 🤞

The three were able to create a machine to bring ideas to life, but when their budget ran out they looked for corporate backing. Unfortunately they had to sign over control of the machine to Overcorp, who used it to create a living embodiment of their corporate creed, the horror known as Superdoom.

🦃 Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to pause and reflect on the many blessings in our lives. In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of comparison—looking at what others have and wishing we were in their shoes. This mindset often leaves us feeling inadequate, overlooking the beauty of what we already possess.

👉 But life’s true treasures aren’t found in material possessions or social status they’re in the little moments that bring us peace, joy, and connection. A quiet morning with the sun streaming through your window. Sharing a cup of coffee and conversation with your significant other. The gift of a healthy body that carries you through each day. The clarity of mind to appreciate it all.

💪 Today, let’s take a step back from the noise and truly embrace the small things that make life meaningful. Let’s spend time with friends and family, cherishing the laughter, love, and warmth they bring. Let’s acknowledge the present moment and express gratitude for all we have right now—not what we hope to gain tomorrow, but what fills our lives with richness today.

🥂 So, as we gather around the table, let’s give thanks not just for the feast before us but for the everyday blessings that sustain us. May this day remind us to carry gratitude in our hearts, not just on Thanksgiving but throughout the year.

🧠 Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Dr.G

Tulsa Oktoberfest 2024: A Sunday Brunch You Won’t Forget

When it comes to celebrating Bavarian culture in the heart of Oklahoma, Tulsa Oktoberfest does it like no other. Recently recognized as America’s Best Oktoberfest by USA Today, Tulsa’s festivities bring a slice of Germany to the banks of the Arkansas River, blending age-old traditions with modern, family-friendly fun. And while there’s no shortage of food, music, and excitement throughout the festival, one event stands out as a must-do: the Sunday morning brunch, Frühstück auf dem Oktoberfest, hosted in the lively Paulaner Bierstube.

A Family Feast and Adult-Friendly Fun

Sunday morning at Tulsa Oktoberfest is all about Frühstück, or breakfast, done the German way. From 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., families, friends, and festival-goers gather for a delightful brunch that offers something for everyone. Picture this: tables laden with authentic German fare, the warm sound of live German music filling the air, and the inviting clink of beer mugs and champagne glasses—a perfect blend for a memorable start to your Sunday.

Seated right in front of the stage, we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to soak up the action. Just a few feet away, the GAST German Blaskapelle band played lively Bavarian tunes, setting a cheerful, authentic atmosphere that made us feel transported to Munich. This wasn’t just background music; the performances by Das ist Lustig and traditional German dancers captivated everyone, young and old alike. Kids watched wide-eyed as dancers in traditional attire swirled across the stage, while adults enjoyed the upbeat energy and perhaps even joined in a few claps and cheers.

For those looking to elevate their brunch experience, Oktoberfest goes beyond coffee and orange juice. Beer and champagne are served alongside the meal, allowing adults to truly indulge in the Bavarian spirit. With the Paulaner Bierstube’s selection of German brews, there’s no better way to celebrate Oktoberfest than with a toast to good food, good friends, and a great festival atmosphere.

A Taste of Germany in Every Bite

But let’s talk about the food—the true heart of any brunch. Tulsa Oktoberfest doesn’t disappoint, offering a range of traditional German dishes that would make any food lover’s heart sing. Classic potato pancakes, juicy bratwurst, fluffy pretzels, and sauerkraut are just a few of the options that bring the flavors of Germany to Oklahoma. Each dish is prepared with authenticity in mind, capturing the comforting, hearty qualities that define German cuisine.

It’s easy to see why this brunch draws a crowd. Families piled their plates high, savoring the unique offerings that set this brunch apart from any typical Sunday meal. And while the kids enjoyed their pancakes and pretzels, adults were more than happy to sample the various beers on offer—making this brunch a winning choice for everyone in the family.

Beyond the Brunch: Highlights of Tulsa Oktoberfest 2024

Of course, the brunch is just one highlight of the six-day event. Tulsa Oktoberfest offers a wide array of activities, from live performances on the double-decker stage at Das Glockenspiel to the crowd-favorite cabin-themed bar by Cabin Boys Brewery. The festival grounds are packed with things to do for all ages. The Lufthansa Technik Biergarten keeps the energy high with rock performances from Dorfrocker, while the FC Tulsa Games and Competitions Arena hosts barrel races and Bavarian Cup team competitions.

For those who love a bit of shopping, the expanded Arts and Crafters Markthaus offers authentic Bavarian souvenirs and Oktoberfest merchandise, making it easy to take a piece of the festival home. And with hands-on arts and activities for kids in das Jugendzelt, it’s clear that this festival is designed with family enjoyment in mind.

Keeping Tradition Alive in Tulsa

Tulsa Oktoberfest owes much of its authenticity to the German-American Society of Tulsa (GAST), whose members volunteer their time and skills to keep the festival as close to Bavarian tradition as possible. From folk dancers to the food booth where you can find potato pancakes and bratwurst, GAST’s contributions help ensure that each Oktoberfest visitor experiences a genuine taste of German culture.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss Next Year’s Brunch

There’s a reason Tulsa Oktoberfest has become a staple for locals and visitors alike. The Frühstück auf dem Oktoberfest brunch is more than just a meal; it’s a cultural experience, a community gathering, and a celebration of all things Bavarian. With live music, traditional dances, and authentic German flavors, it’s the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning. So grab your family, bring your friends, and make a plan to join in the festivities next October. After all, there’s nothing quite like raising a glass at Tulsa Oktoberfest, where a taste of Germany awaits right here in Oklahoma.
