A Friday kind of randomness
A few unrelated notes: I love ice cream sandwiches. They’re not included in any diet I’ve even considered, except on the free day of the 4-Hour Body, which is actually the one I’m supposed to be following except that today isn’t my free day and guess why I felt moved to talk about ice cream […]
No comment*
Really, don’t say that! *Except to say that I actually have no right at all to use these images. As soon as anyone connected with the Dallas Stars (Razor’s photo) or Defending Big D (the puck’s photo) says anything, I’ll take it down. Or as soon as I start making money off of it, I […]
Just for the hockey fans
Or Daryl “Razor” Reaugh fans. (Yeah, the rest of you won’t care.) Razor thinks it’s silly that Stars fans are superstitious. Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen was having a great season, but until just a few games ago he didn’t have a shut out as a Dallas Star. Every time the opposing team hadn’t scored and […]
And in conclusion…
Part 2: Okay, so it appeared that something terrible was going on in my mouth, and I didn’t even know it. My friendly dental hygienist was pretty alarmed, and recommended taking some kind of immediate action. Unfortunately, the action she recommended added up to about $1400 of uninsured dental treatment. Perio therapy, including anesthesia and […]
A few seemingly random things and how they led to bacterial DNA testing
Part 1: So Rich and I started Atkins at the beginning of the month. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure, Atkins is a very low carbohydrate diet that involves massive amounts of cooking and food preparation. And salads. Lots and lots and lots of salads. I wasn’t good at it. First of […]
Email aggravation
I have no fewer than 27 email filters that run automatically, yet I still can’t keep all the spam deleted. For the record, spammers, I don’t want a psychic reading (and it kind of seems like you should know that). I’m not interested in Lasik, nor in growing blueberries, giant or otherwise. I don’t want […]
Carbs & Mental Health, or The Next Time You See Me I May Be Wigged Out
Rich and I are going on Atkins for a month, starting tomorrow. We’re doing this because we have to do something, and Atkins sounds like a plan we could actually live with, if we decide to. I had always thought Atkins was kind of, you know, out there, with the no carbs and all that […]
Bad news for inflatable Tony fans
That’s fans of inflatable Tonys, not Tony fans who are inflatable. My local Albertson’s (now at Up to 90% Off All Merchandise, and what a cheery place it is, too) is all out of the 10-foot inflatable Tony Romos. I asked, and they said some guy came in and bought all the Tony Romo and […]
After the Ball Is Over, so to speak
Post Superbowl note: Rich spent most of his time at Cowboy Stadium, and almost all of the actual game, stationed on the Green Bay sideline, at the Green Bay 10 yard line. He did spend a little time in one of the tunnels, where he was almost run over by Jerry Jones. (Jones, not surprisingly […]
It’s Superbowl Sunday, and other facts
It’s 4pm on Superbowl Sunday and I’ve already had too much beer and nachos. Why, no, I’m not at Cowboy Stadium. I’m at home by myself. Why? Rich is at the Superbowl, working on the Game Day Frequency Coordination team. They’re wearing all black (NFL-supplied shirts and jackets, their own pants) and red baseball caps […]
