More to Life

Another reason Jason felt the urge to leave Location A was because he felt there was more to life. "I leave work, and I'm ready for bed," he told Dad. One needs to look at what Jason does. He gets up every day at 4:30 to work out. Jason is a gym rat. He can bench around 400 pounds. He is a runner... Sign in to see full entry.
