Not Retired, Just Tired
Moon Park Beach Trail & Frankenbike
Yesterday, Saturday April, 20 was a day of fix up, catch up and prep.

The Tired Guy Bike The one thing you have to have in California, especially on campus, is … [Read More...]

These coupons give you the first three ounces of yogurt plus toppings for free after that it is 35 cents an ounce. An ounce of yogurt plus toppings (It's … [Read More...]

How to Cook Toast
I rarely make toast. Bread has become my enemy in the battle for lower blood sugar levels. If I'm going to have a spike in blood sugars I want it to be from something I really, really enjoy. Yeah, Ice Cream comes to mind. And I don't mean the 17 to 34 sugars kind of ice cream. Those super sweet ones … [Read More...]

I have an iPad
My, my, my daughter says "So you have gone over to the dark side." Well, I guess I have, maybe, a little.

While waiting I noticed the Google Street view car coming down the street so I took out my phone and got ready to snap a picture as it went by. Luck was … [Read More...]
