GRANHOLM Fail – Michigan Meatout Day
GRANHOLM – Michigan Meatout Day. Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm has just made a preposterous declaration – she has declared that this Saturday, March 20, 2010, is Michigan Meatout Day, in which she urges Michigan citizens to eat no meat. Her rationale? A vegan diet is healthier, cheaper, and safer. Here’s the problem: her declaration is [...]
Back to Writing – Maybe
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve written any fiction, but lately I’ve been feeling the itch to write again, especially now that we’ve started to get some of my medical issues sorted out. Between a sleep disorder, thyroid condition, and back problems, I just really haven’t felt up to doing much in the creative realm [...]
Vicoden
Vicoden is a wonderful thing sometimes.
‘Back’ to Gaming
Being flat on one’s back for an entire week has its advantages. For instance, I’ve finally gotten to learn and play a game that I’ve heard a number of people talk about – Catan – on my Xbox 360. It’s pretty easy to learn, and either I’m a fast case study or I’ve just gotten [...]
Much Ado
I’m brain-burned today. Feels like someone aimed an unhealthy dose of microwaves right at my cranium and set it on ‘Well Done.’ Boom – crispy critterized brain goo. ((_“Would you like a hot apple pie with that?”_)) So much I wanted to get done today and so little actually accomplished. I supposed I should be [...]
Hodge-Podge
Now this is the kind of weather I can actually tolerate – for a while, at least. The temps have dropped enough that the persistent rain has become snow. It was actually a lot of fun to work out in it tonight, but only because I was bundled up and actually working hard enough to [...]
Resolutions
I don’t do New Year’s resolutions; I never have. I think they’re kind of a nice idea, mind you – it’s just that most people break them before January ever reaches its close. So, it seems to me that setting resolutions is a somewhat pointless endeavor. Now, that said, I have been thinking about setting [...]
Food Legislation
I’m sitting here watching the news and just heard that New York City has just passed legislation to phase out the use of trans fat in all restaurants in the city. While I can see their point about the dangers of trans fat, is it really the government’s place to legislate how Americans eat? Isn’t [...]
Vision Correction
Could be I’m strange, but I always look forward to getting a new pair of glasses. Today I had my first eye exam in five or six years. ((It’s nice having medical insurance again.)) My eyes are happy and healthy, though I’m getting a slight boost in my prescription (which was expected). My astigmatism in [...]
Busy…
Sorry, no time to write again this weekend (not that anyone really seems to notice). Craziness abounds on all fronts. And to top it all off, I think I now have a hernia. Gonna have a doctor confirm that my suspicion sometime later this week. (Ain’t holiday weekends grand?)
