Wednesday update

I think I will make this a part of my weekly routine.

It has been almost two months without a drop of booze. Physically, I am feeling about the same but I feel stronger mentally. My mind is clearer and I am also a little but calmer. I hopefully will continue to improve as time goes by. I know when I quit smoking it was a long time before I felt the full effects. That has been almost 15 years now.

My diet is going well too. I am only into week three and have lost 12 lbs. I am starting to get compliments too as people are noticing the thinner me. I have gained some energy which is giving me some more drive to stay with it. I will keep you all posted on my progress.

I took some new photo’s the other day but they place where I took them is having trouble with the machine that converts them to digital. It was nice of them to let me know AFTER I left the film with them. Now all I can do is wait. I did get to see the actual photo’s and they came out great.

Have a great day,
Greg

I too like the diabetic diet and have incorporated it into my regular lifestyle. I never have to diet now; I just eat mini meals throughout the day and focus on whole grains/olive oil/ vegetables/little meat/fresh fruit as desserts. It's easy and delicious for me. But I haven't given up a glass of red wine each day.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask. In a few days, I will post some more photos of the house. I wrote an interesting story about the plantation as my last post. Check it out by clicking here . Thanks to my son, Gregory for taking the pictures. He is making a power point presentation for Irving House Winery. You can see it if you come for a wine tasting.

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
