My mom, the former high school chemistry teacher would have loved #chemadvent and totally shared it with her students! 🤓

She passed away almost exactly 3 years ago, but here's a picture of her when she was in her prime.

I made a newbie faux pas at work on a very complex system. It was sorted out. No biggie.

I like to think of myself not failing, but just slowly approaching perfection! 🙃

Sometimes too slowly for my tastes.

If you were a superhero, what would your one, completely useless superpower be? (Ex: The ability to always find the perfect parking spot.)

This year, as every year, I'm thankful that the great cosmic coincidences of place and time that define the course of all our lives landed me in a place where I can enjoy a warm holiday with my family. I know that's a big gift, and one that a lotta people don't get. I promise not to squander it.

I just (re-) found #writingmonth and #fediwrimo.

My challenge to myself is to set up a blog about my nutrition and exercise goals. Basically, how it was possible for a 57-year old schmo lost 45 pounds in 6.5 months without stabbing myself in the tummy.

While it's probably not revolutionary, I […]
