I’ve heard the phrase “and Bob’s Your Uncle” from a colleague years ago when I first moved to Boston from Cornell in Ithaca, NY, and have always loved it. Today I took a moment to look it up. According to the almighty Internet, one “theory has it that it derives from the slang phrase all is bob, meaning that everything is safe, pleasant or satisfactory.”

This morning I started the day with a long yoga practice, inspired by Glen Black, got the day off right. We’ll be in Talbot, TN for a few days before visiting my friends Mario and Mickey and their families in Jackson, MS. Along with partners, Mario runs the Courthouse Gymnastics, which is not only the place for gymnastics in Mississippi, but is one of two locations in the world where you can take part in a Bussey Combatives course. I hear they may soon offer Crossfit as well. As they say, bob’s your uncle!
