I had my virgin cryotherapy treatment a few weeks ago. It was cool. No, chilly. No really, really cold.

Before going in, the attendant informed me that I’d begin in a really cold chamber to start getting my skin and body used to the colder temp. After about a minute, I could swing into the other chamber that would produce a temperature of about 141 degrees below zero.

Oh.

Coming off a Masters weekend, I frequently like to make some sort of golf analogy on my Extra Points. This year is no different, especially after getting to play a tournament with a friend on Saturday.

As I played the round, I was reminded of an aphorism that influenced my mindset.

We had quite a scare last weekend with Bella.

Bella is our 16-year old, less gregarious than her pal Captain Jack, but equally loved dog. On that Friday, she stopped eating, an activity she usually performs with speed and gusto. Sometimes she has stomach issues, so I didn’t think much of it until later in the evening.

Pardon the Interruption of a normal Extra Points, with this important information for Washington State employers AND employees with the new Long-Term Care Act tax taking effect in January. It has some significant timing involved over the next few months.
