Attention readers: I take no credit for these recipes and I do not get compensated for highlighting this or any other blogger’s work on my site.

By Ran Walker – My wife doesn’t trust gas station fried chicken, but, dammit, I do. In fact, I rank it among the best food in town, including those fancy chains, where they keep laying off the spices and seasonings every year. I tell her that they lovingly marinate those breasts, before gently battering them […]

“Keep a diary or journal. Record your reflections on your life experience in a journal. You will find this simple practice to be invaluable in your quest for wisdom.” Warren Bennis (March 8, 1925 – July 31, 2014) was the distinguished professor of business administration and founding chairman of the Leadership Institute at the University […]
Monday I restarted a food diary. The recollection of my indiscipline over the past several months plus a recent online article on this topic reminded me of the effectiveness of writing down what you eat especially if you want to lose weight or maintain what was lost. Put simply I’ve been bad. Time once again […]
Good information. I appreciate your sharing this. I’m still being a little bit more cautious myself. My group of ladies I do tai chi with want to go maskless. We are all vaccinated, but the other ladies do a lot of socializing. One in particular goes out to eat at least 5 times a week, attends the symphony, the opera, concerts, get-togethers at the yacht club, etc. And the people she socializes with travel extensively. So I’m keeping my mask, in fact double masking when we practice our tai chi inside.
On the other hand, when I go to the gym, I no longer wear a mask. But at the time I go there are usually only 0 – 2 people besides myself. And I no longer do cardio at the gym. Only weights and stretching.
Risk tolerance is an individual thing. We just got back from a Texas family visit. I had lunch out in a sit down restaurant for the first time in over a year. Brother in law, his son and daughter in law all unvaccinated. All restaurant staff were masked. Customers all respected distancing and there were zero adjacent tables/booths occupied. I felt quite safe but plan on still limiting any dine in restaurant meals for a while. Still no gym for me but in a few months will consider signing up for a membership somewhere. I am approaching my “reopening” cautiously until more of the general population gets jabbed!
