Moddie and I watched the Diana Nyad documentary “The Other Shore” together last night. ARE YOU KIDDING ME – ?!?!?!?!?! WHAT a story! I knew about it “in 2 dimensions” – the aborted tries, the storm, the jellyfish, the training, but – Wow. I didn’t know that she hadn’t swum in 30 years (since her […]

The BEST and EASIEST roast chicken recipe in the UNIVERSE!
You will need: 2 cut up chickens (It’s so good, you’ll want to make 2. Trust me on this one.) 2 seasoned cast-iron skillets (Don’t have them? Go get them. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.) An oven (duh. Preferably a convection roast one, but any oven will do.) Seasoning (I use Andy’s Rub, you do what […]

Day 142 (1/27) – first Crossfit and Bikram day back
>Went to Crossfit today, though I usually don’t do Mondays (because I have yoga work trade plus I try to do yoga at least this ONE day, for the work trade hours! Yes, I could go EVERY freakin’ day every freakin’ hour but noooo-ooooo, I clean those nasty floors and drains and never use the […]
My Cinderella Moment on Day 137 (yesterday, January 22)
I was supposed to go to Crossfit today (first day back), but the WOD I can make is at 6:30 p.m. and I realized that will not work. Why you ask? Let me explain! Yesterday was my first LONG day out after surgery. I had lots and lots to do . . . talking to […]
Second TAR Video “List” (separate email) – includes videos, quotes, etc. – January 21 (Day 136)
I posted this in a previous email, but I thought it should have its own post instead of being part of a “litany” I did on the last day before surgery. 🙂 These are “selfies” or videos” that Moddie and I think we need to do for our 2nd video WHEN The Amazing Race folks […]
January 17 (Day 142) – I’m Baaaa-aaaack….
Yeah, I couldn’t help myself with that photo. LOL! I can’t believe it’s been 10 days since I last blogged. Okay – well, yes I can. I had the eye resurfacing done (I have some photos, will try to add when I have a bit more time on the computer). It went like this: Last […]
January 7 (Day 132) – Our “List” – PRK – et cetera
This is likely to be my last post for a while. I’m having PRK (it’s like LASIK for super duper bad eyes) on Thursday. The doctor told me at the “pre-op” that my eyes won’t be better “all at once” like LASIK. Rather, it happens gradually over about 10 days – and the pain is […]
Whoa – January 3nd (day 128), how’d THAT happen???
A few random things here: I went back to see what I wrote last year about “the new year” and all that “resolution” jazz, found these: Start 2013 fast, focused and fired up!!! Setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals Don’t Let People Who Don’t Matter, Matter, plus Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement video. There are some great things […]
Jason and Amy’s “journey” to The Amazing Race 2013
Yeah well this is frickin’ amazing . . . I was just noodling through YouTube, and came across this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EEYgJYdkYc It’s made by Jason and Amy – who actually just WON The Amazing Race. It shows their journey – their initial 3 minute video (that they sent in the day before the deadline), and […]
