I’m always amazed when I hear that people don’t eat breakfast. I do realize that for a lot of folks, time is an issue. But there are a lot of good reasons to get that first meal of the day in sometime before 8:00, if you can manage it: It’s a matter of fuel. You … Continue reading »
This morning I had a physical for my new job. The hard part was being weighed. The last few weeks have been tough on my regimen. Since I’m not working, exercising is a problem. The weather hasn’t been good, so my walks haven’t been as long as I’d like them to be and I don’t … Continue reading »

I am thinking… about organizing my work for today. I am thankful for… breathing. From the kitchen…bought a croissant from GetGo. Not feeling the cooking thing. I … Continue reading »

As parf of this, a slave followed the hero’s chariot throughout the procession — the slave’s only function was to murmur … Continue reading »
For today… Outside my window… a glorious late Summer, early Autumn day — and the trails from the aircraft practicing for the Air Show this weekend. I am thinking… about the effects of Hurricane Isaac on people who have mostly been through the mill the last few years, between Katrina and BP’s oil spill… I am thankful … Continue reading »
If you’ve ever read my blog over the last couple or three years, you know I’ve been fighting my weight issues. I thought I was taking it seriously, but apparently I wasn’t as serious as I thought. I just spent the last week, roughly, in the hospital, being treated for diabetic wound issues and cellulitis. … Continue reading »
