Ponderings

I have a collection of words and thoughts that I like to refer to time to time to remind myself of certain things about life that I tend to forget and instead of keeping them to myself I thought I will start regularly sharing them here, why? 1) hopefully you’ll take away something from one …

Reflections

I wanted to write something on my recent trip to East Africa. While brainstorming, I reflected back and realized its been almost exactly a year since I was last in Kenya. In July 2011 I spent the majority of my time in Garissa, which now is much less secure given its proximity to the Somalia …

Ann Arbor Pinnacle List

This is an ever evolving list of the best things in Ann Arbor. I subject myself to as many things as possible in hopes of finding the best, so why not give out that hard-earned information for free. I’m sick of things not being settled so just to be clear this is not a subjective list. I …

Five Day Raw Food Diet – Oh, salad again (Day4)

Nothing really new here. That is my main issue with this experiment. I was hoping for some eye-opening change that would make me want to switch to this diet (or something close to it), but I’m not finding it. Positives: wake up easier, no urge to drink caffiene to stay alert, more coherent/less distracted mind, …

Five Day Raw Food Diet – I ate roadkill (Day3)

I didn’t eat roadkill, but I saw some yesterday and immediately thought it to be something that looked delicious. I’m not turning vegetarian. I’m not sure that my sense of smell is getting stronger but I find normal human food smells really really good. It is really difficult to smell how cheesy a pizza pie smells …

Five Day Raw Food Diet – No Sushi (Day2)

Today I’ve really enjoyed complaining to people about how terrible my wife is and how she used her wizard tricks to make me give up normal human food… but even when I’m not on a food’s food diet, I enjoy complaining about her wizard tricks. She just has the best wizard tricks, there is no …

Five Day Raw Food Diet – Hold me I’m cold (day1)

What could possibly be better than fresh fruit and vegetables? First of all, golf with a gator. Secondly, bacon, cheese, meat, anything that has been cooked (including bacon), and coffee. So if you sit quietly at home each evening watching documentaries on Netfilx about how the average American, or Australian, or European (or anywhere they …

death of a bachelor

It is official and it is sad; I can no longer survive as a bachelor. As my wife is now on vacation, I have taken to excess. I make every effort to get as little sleep as possible, have tossed aside exercise as if it were a the tail of one of the cigars I’ve …

Do you moto?

A few months ago we purchased a lovely moped, a Yamaha C3 to be exact, for me to use to get around town.  I have to say I’m lovin’ it. I mean 120 miles to the gallon? Yes please. Free parking in Ann Arbor? Definitely. Open parking spaces in Ann Arbor? Of course (but who knows for …
