I was out and about this morning; thank goodness we here haven\’t (yet!) been ordered to stay indoors. Query: Is it a \”roundabout\” when I take an out-and-back trip on a bicycle? I rode the hybrid to the regular supermarket. I\’ll go there or to Whole Foods when I want something specific. Besides, Whole Foods […]
Working from home makes me an active couch potato. If only I had a nice table to work on, it might help a little. But I have to sit on the floor! The only table I have is a TV-dinner-tray style folding thing that\’s meant to be used over a wheelchair. If I use it,
When you\’re hot, and have certain health conditions, such as diabetes, it\’s about more than simply cooling off. It seems that people who have diabetes of either type do not respond well to heat and humidity. I hadn\’t known that, although I was aware that people who have lupus have to be careful about sun

Monkeying around in the kitchen needn\’t be agonizing. It can be fun! This evening I tried Feelin\’ Your Oats Burgers, from my new cookbook. Naturally I took some liberties with it. The recipe says to use one tablespoon of dried Italian herb blend (thyme, rosemary, and oregano). I didn\’t have any rosemary. I substituted 1-1/2
Spuds? Idaho always sounds like spuds to me. I even made up a (horrible!) joke: “Idaho’d the potatoes, if it hadn’t a rained.” MTB enthusiasts might like to head to the Gem State for the Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route. There are 50 hot springs along this 763.4-mile trail! After a day’s riding a
What\’s kale-coction? A concoction made with kale, of course. Last Sunday I got to work and used up the bunch of kale that had been in my fridge for a week. Cyclists need veggies, after all. Before I could even start with that, I had to clean up the bundle of celery I had bought
I sure does seem like someone hit the panic button. I needed more plastic food-storage containers, and the local Walgreen\’s doesn\’t carry them. This morning I headed for Walmart; I figured they\’d have some. I decided to get my groceries there, too; might as well make one trip of it. It was probably around 8:15
Curriculum vitae; or cv; or — coronavirus. Not that \”cv\” is anything to joke about. COVID-19 can be serious for some people. It’s got everybody on the jump. Is it safe to go anywhere at all? Schools are closing right and left. The university campus where I work has instituted online-learning only through the end
