En route
I'm traveling again. The diehard BJJers among you might be bored by this trip, because I'll only be training once. But give me a break; it's Thanksgiving. I will be sure to regale you with descriptions of the single and double legs, triangle drills, and sit-throughs I'll be doing to stay in grappling shape while I'm spending time with people I love for the holidays.
Sitting in LAX right now and headed to Chicago in a little while. I'm meeting up with Natasha and Andy for dinner, and then I'll train at Carlson, Jr.'s tomorrow. Unfortunately, Jr. is actually here in Southern California right now, so I'll miss him.
Anyway, I'm very tired. Sleep deprivation will do that to you. Got up early every morning this week, for CrossFit, for various trips to the airport. Hoping to sleep on the plane. If for some reason I can't fall asleep, I'm sure my program evaluation textbook will help with that.
Here's another clip about Fight Gone Bad. I'm in there as a talking head, saying some nonsense about contacting people. It's a wonder I'm allowed out in public. The person talking before me is Becca, one of my teachers. And there are various Petranek Fitness people in various stages of exhaustion while they do Fight Gone Bad.

You said, in part:
"I will be sure to regale you with descriptions of the single and double legs, triangle drills, and sit-throughs I'll be doing to stay in grappling shape while I'm spending time with people I love for the holidays."
Actually, it would be more interesting to see how your time off affects your bjj, cross-fit, and cardio.
I suspect your bjj will be better, because you will "heal" some minor injuries and feel ready to get back on the mat (family time and chilling are good for the head), your cross-fit will feel like a nightmare when you go back (it was probably a nightmare all along, but you got used to it), and your cardio will be surprisingly good (not perfect, but it will surprise you).
Assuming you don't drink like a fish.
Let us know. Sometime I think some of us overtrain.
I'm sorry that I missed you at the academy - I'm taking a few weeks off right now to heal a badly injured neck. Looks like I won't be able to roll with Internet BJJ Superstar Valerie Worthington after all. :(
On behalf of Anonymous everywhere, Happy Thanksgiving!
