She makes the moon go ape and the monkeys go bananas

Kind of a tiring week in which nothing of note really happened. So, I’m tired and I’m taking the night off. Tomorrow, Steve and I need to run down to Old Orchard Beach in the morning, and further than that? I’m not planning.

In-between and around the corners, I did get a little bit of work done on “Intelligent Design.” I’m looking for a good chunk of time, say, Sunday, to buckle down and get the first draft done. Right now, this is what it looks like:

Progress on “Intelligent Design”
4,110 out of 10,000 words OR 41.10% complete

And, finally: I want to be completely clear that this is Oz’ (aka birdhousefrog)’s fault. Completely.

Make sure both of you have a relaxing weekend. No carrying heavy sacks of bird food, or groceries. As I told my grandaughter the last week (take a bubble bath, listen to nice music, take another bubble bath and relax). You'll both feel better for it.

As for me, back surgery is finally scheduled for the morning of the 15th. Will be glad when it's over with...doctor says it's a piece of cake. I should be able to walk out of the hospital that afternoon with no pain. I'll believe that on the afternoon of the 15th.

And I ran across this the other day: Theo had it right...

•Crochet patterns have an underlying mathematical structure and have been used to illustrate shapes in hyperbolic geometry that are difficult to reproduce using other media or are difficult to understand when viewed two-dimensionally.

Oh, goodness. I'd thought you were in and out and on the mend already! Thinking good thoughts.

Theo's a pretty smart kid.

Wow! Play that funky bar again! That was great. So if it's Oz's fault, who gets the credit? Thanks, anyway, for brightening up my day. (humming...)

Birdhousefrog's journal. What a hoot. Scrolled down a ways. My favorite photos: ladies doing yoga with their horses. So funny. As for Rhoderic Land. Weird. Catchy song all right. I think they could have done better with the visuals. A bar room scene, pretty boring. Should have put on a pith helmet and walked through the jungle. Would have been much nicer.

Looked at an ad that came up somewhere about weight loss. Promoting a type of "caleries don't count" type diet with plenty of eggs, bacon and steak. Hard on the kidneys over time. Some good ideas. Bread made out of spelt or sprouted grain. Olive oil.

Good luck with Intelligent Design.
Have a good weekend.
C. And the gang.

Looked it up. The "alories don't count"diet re emerged asthe Atkins diet years later. lots of meat, bacon, eggs, butter, etc. Would also very hard on the heart. Does seem to work short term then folks get tired of it and gain all the weight back. I have a friend who did that.

Yep, I did a less extreme low carb diet a few years ago and lost 50 pounds. Then I plateaued for six months, stopped, and gained the 50 back and more on top of that.

The more interesting research on diets said that all of them worked to lose weight and the closer you stuck to them the better they worked. Of course the more restrictive ones created a sense of missing out that they became increasingly difficult to stay on.

Add in to that that we each seem to have only so many "will power points" to expend per day. For argument's sake, say the number is 12. Say no to the cookie every time you see it and you expend one point. Hide the same cookie you also spend one point, only you stop the trigger. Eat the cookie on the 13th time you see it- you have used all your will power and you still ate the cookie. You would think you get credit for saying no 12 times, but you only get credit for eating the cookie once. Goes a long way to thinking about how to manage parts of life (no judgment here - I have enough of my own experience to back it up without the fancy research).

Anyway, that was I have been reading lately.

I love the King Kong Tonight song - one just has to share it.

I resemble that remark. I could point fingers at the individual who introduced me to this song, but no. Shan't. In too good a mood this morning, having finished a story.

Well, you might. I'd like to thank them, with you; it's a splendid song.

finished a story.

YAY!

Thank you, Oz and Sharon!
I'm going to have investigate this guy Rhoderick more...

I hope your Saturdays are drier than mine...

Excellent song!... After investigating, we also liked 'A house in New Orleans' from the same album.

Like the song so much I sent it to a friend who likes odd songs. He liked it to much he went searching for the artist and sent me this: http://www.secretsofparis.com/heathers-secret-blog/english-patience-how-to-score-a-record-deal-in-just-23-years.html
Enjoy!
