I\’m always rooting around, looking for new ideas for meals. For snacks, too; it\’s not unusual for me to chow down a quarter-pound of raw carrots as a snack. I especially enjoy them with hummus.

I\’m enjoying a staycation this week! Sunday Sunday I put in a half-century ride. The next day my legs were a bit stiff, but that was to be expected. And there\’s a difference between muscles being a bit sore; and muscles that are screaming \”ouch!\” Now I\’ve put in a 50-miler; and I want to
I was left in stitches on Easter Monday, you might say. The evening before, I was cutting up cabbage; and managed to give myself a nasty cut in the left thumb. The cut bled pretty heavily; and I had to put double bandaids on it. Every time I got my hands wet, the blood started
