As I tell my Latin students, “Insanus sum!”  I am very crazy!

St. Thomas Aquinas would teach that moderation in all things is a virtue!

Actually in my old age (70) I have run 15 marathons with a PR of 4:09.54!

This is what I want to resume in my life!

I hope so, but last night I posted this picture on Facebook    saying it was my way of celebrating my achievement.  I would want to assure Dr. Lewis that I would not do this all of the time!

I was when I stepped on the scale that morning.  I did mention to Dr. Lewis in a note that my experience this this year mirrors my experience from 2006-2007.  The last pounds are the hardest to lose.  Oh well, I am ready to face the challenge.  When I do get to 150 lbs or less I will post a photo of my scal…[Read more]

For our purposes Snicker (either peanut or almond) are among the best options.  Mounds are good, but as an indulgence.  I did finally find some 100 Grands Bars and I like them very much. The one thing that I will say about eating any of these candy bars is that putting them in the refrigerator is the best way, indeed the only way to enjoy t…[Read more]

I understand that it does not matter.  I am looking for suggestions of personal tastes of others so that I can broaden my tastes!!!
