Five for Friday 202

Welcome to Friday,

It’s taken a couple weeks, but I think we are finally back in the groove of our work and workout routines. Routine is a funny thing; it’s so useful in keeping us on track and helps us get from one stage to the next, but they sure are fun to shake up every so often. Speaking of shaking things up, have you been pining for cranberry cold-brew coffee? I didn’t think so, but it’s here, nonetheless!

It’s supposed to be very cold this weekend, so these are the links I’ll be curling up with:

My mind is blown: this Pennsylvania ghost town has been on fire for decades.

On the Origins of the phrase “You Guys”

This new profile of the founder of Crossfit.

I think the title of this one really says it all; How Kepler Invented Science Fiction and Defended His Mother in a Witchcraft Trial While Revolutionizing Our Understanding of the Universe

Finally, have you ever wondered why Egyptians are so great at squash, and how certain countries create a virtual monopoly on specific sports?

Have a wonderful weekend.
