Christmas Markets on the Rhine

Back in December we took a river cruise:  Christmas Markets on the Rhine. We flew in to Zurich and spent a couple days before moving on to Lucerne for a couple of nights and then to Basel to embark on the river cruise on AMAWaterways aboard the  AMAMora. This was an...

EAMC Celebrate Life 5K

Stefanie and I teamed up with Cindy this morning for the EAMC Celebrate Life! 5K. My best time! (not bad since we were treating it like a training run). For Christmas John got me a Garmin Forerunner 210. That's a neat watch with a Garmin GPS that tracks distance and...

Another generation joins the workforce

I've noticed that over the last year or 2 something that I might perceive as alarming keeps happening. We keep interviewing and hiring my children's classmates. So far, in our department we have 3 employees who went to high school with my 2 older children - so when...

Atkins Continues unabated

OK - so I've been at this for almost a month now... I realize that there are many benefits to this style of eating. I mean, even beyond the 10 lbs gone away in less than a month, or the fact that my jeans are considerably looser, and more comfortable, or even the fact...

Atkins

OK - so I've been following this Atkins diet for a week now. I'm down 6.5 lbs - that's about 10% of what I'd like to loose (if you're gonna dream, reach for the stars). Observations: I'm not hungry; I'm not craving any food - I've lived on salad, a few other veggies,...

On diets and food

My brother was the second person in a couple of weeks to get interested in Atkins - and he wants me to try it. Maybe this can work. You see, I suspect that I am a person for whom sugar should be classified a street drug. The theory is that perhaps I am addicted to...
