All I seem to be doing lately is going to conferences. I think there is a boomerang effect from COVID where we weren't allowed to travel. It's fun, but also exhausting. I despise flying. It's expensive and the security theatre is a pain in the neck. Yes, I said security theater. Our airport security is [...]
As luck would have it, we received several portions of venison. A friend of Tony gave us some after doing some car repairs. Tony then asked me if I can do a Sunday dinner with the roast. Ok. Of course I can do that. What can I do with a roast. Of course, make a [...]
I'm back from this round of traveling. I went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to teach a class. If you have heard about it, but have never been, it's a great place to visit. I taught the class on the campus of Michigan Tech. For those who are not familiar with this university, it's [...]
I'm happy this week is a normal week. It's nice to get back into my routine. Until, of course, I travel again. I spent some time over Memorial Day looking around for some interesting recipes. I found one from Sweet Greens Vegan. It seems when I look for new recipes, the same few get recycled. [...]
I feel like I can't catch a break. This summer will be travel, catch up, local conference, catch up and repeat. I'm happy to travel and do all kinds of fun things, but not being home or in the office much takes its toll. So a short post this week. This week I'm doing a [...]
I am keeping with the theme of simplicity this week. Just got back and have more travelling to do. The last conference Tony likes to go to because we have the place pretty much memorized. We go every year to the same venue. He also likes to get away from all of the house work. [...]
This week I'm getting ready for a conference and I spent some time doing car work. The conference is our big annual conference, where over 1,000 people of many professions come together. It's fun, but a lot of work. I help people get continuing education for our sessions and that is daunting, but always worth [...]
This week I am working on my running form. I have been having a nagging proximal hamstring injury that hasn't gotten any better. I figured it had something to do with my running. I just didn't know what. I don't have a running coach, so making improvements was impossible without some guidance. I know this [...]
This week we have been working on the outside of both of our houses. Trying to get things done before the weather gets too warm and stuff starts to bloom. Our current house, it looks more like a yard and less like an overgrown mess. We had some serious vegetation around the entire yard. Now [...]
You know when you have certain things in your family health history that you know will affect you some day? I knew one day that my cholesterol would no longer stay controlled. I have been lucky so far that I have been able to keep my bad cholesterol in check by diet and exercise. Well [...]
