Bits & Pieces 2013-02-14
Links and things that I’ve run across recently. Happy Valentine’s Day! Look at this Valentine’s bear that Abbie’s boyfriend Anthony gave her. Grr… He’s showing me up. Happy Ballantyne… As it happens, this morning I listened to an interview with Sarah Ballantyne on the (back-episode of the) Livin’ La Vida Low Carb Show podcast (from […]
Nemo: Good, Bad, and Beautiful
Now that the storm is passed, and we’re all dug out—which is a whole other story, for another time—we can look back at the fun, the pain, and even the beauty Nemo left us. The funnest part, of course—for many of us—was being bundled up safe at home, with plenty of supplies, while the cold […]
Let It Snow: The Blizzard of ’13
The bill has come due for the mild winter we had last year.

Links and things that I’ve run across recently. What Else When the Power Goes Out? I suspect that there may be an unusual number of new birthdays between Halloween and Thanksgiving this year.

After posting a “Bits & Pieces” post yesterday of over 1200 words, I suddenly realized that I had enough good material in there for a whole week of actual blog posts… if I made them a little shorter. And I’m thinking that would probably be a better approach. Starting today. According to Weather.com, last night […]

Links and things that I’ve run across recently. Dropping like a Feather This morning, my bathroom scale read 184.0. That’s about a pound less than it did last week. Slightly disappointing, as my food journal (which I just began this week) seems to indicate that just cheating even a little causes me to put on […]
Most of What We Think We Know about Nutrition Is Probably Wrong
A few months ago, I reported that I had lost over 10 pounds and was finally able to fit into some of my old shirts again. What I didn’t tell you is that I had lost most of that weight by early 2012, and that by the summer I had gotten stuck at 190-195 pounds, […]
