One of my fondest memories of adolescence was walking to school every day with my friend Marc.
I would always get to his house at “ten-passed” (presumably 8:10am), and generally he was running just a bit late.
Eventually he would come out, and he ALWAYS had egg on the corners of his mouth.… Read the rest
Sometimes it takes a lot to make someone happy. Take my new turtle for example. My daughter has wanted a red-eared slider, which is a very attractive water turtle, that lives a long life when cared for well, and it can grow to a foot long.… Read the rest

Which leads me to a topic one of you asked about recently–the raw food diet versus cooked foods, or in my case, the mostly vegan Macrobiotic diet, which is comprised many of cooked grains, cooked vegetables, cooked beans and bean products, cooked sea vegetables, and some raw seeds, nuts and veggies, more in the Summertime.… Read the rest
Recently, I found myself clearing out a few things before winter, which had some nice benefits:
-Found a few things I thought I’d lost
-Now we can play a nice game of ping-pong without tripping over stuff
