In stark contrast to the past year, this one has been a bit strange, a bit of a struggle. I’m not focused the way I was, struggling a bit more to stay on track.
I think I’m OK though. I do. Especially after reading this. http://tinyurl.com/dxstru
It fits so well with my PEEP post a few months [...]

I’m off to Lake Forest! Driving to Chicago area to see relatives… looking forward to the time off, new sites and places… it should be fun! I loved what I saw of Chicago the last time I was in the area.
I decided not to fly out, I’m driving. It’ll be a chance to blow off the [...]

And only 1320 Calories - ! 60 minutes of exercise whittles the calories down to 1100.
OK - I ate 80% of a box (4) of PEEPs… wolfed is [...]

…hope springs eternal. Spring on the calendar if not the air. Peep season is (hopefully) over.
After my pathetic trash-diving-impulse-averted episode (see post February 17th), I thought I would be able to resist the annual Peep-cravings this year… and was doing so well…!
My mistake was to tell someone the story. So, I arrived home last week to a courier [...]

I had hoped some perspective would be available as this wretched week ground on, but that hasn’t been the case. I have in some way displeased the gods, my good karma has drained away… thank heaven it’s just work!! In a few hours I’ll leave it behind for the weekend. Weekend, I’m counting on you!
Thinking [...]

He likes the Hund ‘N Flocken Gold (they’re not kidding!), the Alaskan salmon oil, the Wellness 95% meat as a mix-in, and even the brewers yeast and garlic tablet each day, twice! And maybe some chopped chicken skin or other meat scraps sprinkled on top.
It’s a wonder there’s any money left at the end of [...]

Being a public radio fiend, I linked my Twitter self with Scott Simon’s to see what he posts. I read his post about his young cousin who recently died from cancer. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102468797 He said, some people are like a diamond, they pack a lot of light and brilliance into a small space.
It was relevant, because [...]

Spring is an especially long time coming this year.
The sun is so much stronger now than it was a month ago… 10 miles away from the coast it’s like another world… in my world that means the trails are a mess, not ready for walking, not enough cover to snowshoe or ski.
Rainy weekend, which I needed [...]

I’m sick of that scolding voice in my ear as I grocery shop, “No!” “Put it back!” “You can’t have that!”
Between reading nutrition facts panels, hovering over bins of tempting fresh breads, coolers full of creamy cheeses, cream-on-top yogurts and the like… then regretfully putting them back… I notice this negative back-chat going on.
I’ll leave a [...]

I dreaming of sharp, tangy feta cheese crumbled over crunchy, fresh greens, cucumber slices, a few walnuts, kalamata olives, a couple of strips of thin sliced Italian hot ham–spritzed with fig-infused balsalmic vinegar. A few Ryvita or Wasa crispbreads with a smear of goat cheese topped with apple slices… YUM.
It must be Spring, give a New Englander [...]
