Oprah and Dr Oz

Everybody should watch her show. She has this Doctor Oz on who is really into good health. His approach is simple. Eat good things and exercise. Duh! We all know that. Right?

There was one thing he said about a food which I could not believe. Chia seeds are great for your health. Now, I have seen the planters with the Chia grass growing into green animal forms. Every Christmas ads promote them as a great gift.. But how will they help me? You use them in baking things like muffins. They absorb all the fat, that's how.... No way, you say. Way, says Dr Oz.

So, does he think he is? The Wizard of OZ??

I Wanna Ride?

Had a nice ride today on the Suzuki. Joined two buddies for a breakfast ride. We rode to a diner in the next valley over the hill from our homes. We all chose the senior 1-2-3 special. 1 egg, 2 sausages, 3 pancakes. Just right for the price.

Getting out on the bike this time of year is sort of "iffy". The weather is not really nice enough to be comfortable. I need it to warm up to about 70 degrees and then I can enjoy the ride...

Did My Duty

The election primary day is here. I did my duty and mailed in a ballot. Now we wait to hear and read the results of the vote.

My candidate usually loses. Or things pass that I vote against and items fail to win that I vote in favor of... But I did my duty.

I do think change in coming in the political world. We need fresh faces and ideas to get our Country back on track.

Now the next round of fun will be the political conventions. It is always fun to watch the party.

Aftermath

Giants are the Kings of the Super Bowl. It was a really great game. No one could believe that Eli could pull off the win. He deserved to be the Most Valuable player.

Life goes on and now focus shifts to the political arena with the big vote tomorrow. Who will get the edge. It will be interesting to find out which person comes out on top. I have made my choice and sent in my ballot by mail.

Lent starts this week. Fat Tuesday is tomorrow and Ash Wednesday on Wednesday. I wonder when Easter is? Forty days later, that's when.

Super Bowl Day

Okay, the day has finally arrived. I've been waiting all year for this day. At last there will be commericals that I will watch on TV today.
I don't care about the football game. I just will concentrate on the ads. Normally I abhor TV commericals.
The advertisers know everybody leaves the room to head to the refrigator for a snack so they ramp up the volumn on the commerical.
There has already been news items about the one ad from "Your Daddy.Com". The ad is so racy that viewers will have to go to a web page to see the whole ad. Let's all be sure to power up the laptops and join the fun.
Go team...

Ground Hog Day

The Ground Hog saw it's shadow today. Six more weeks of winter. Sure glad I don't have to shovel snow.
That's why I live where I live. It is very unlikely it will snow here any time soon. I am so glad.

02012008 (02/01/2008)

New month started today. February is only 28 days til leap year gives it 29.

Chinese New Year is now. Year of the Rat, I think. Yin and Yang. Happy New Year.

Super Bowl tomorrow. Brady and Patriots against Eli and the Giants. Should be a interesting game. The defense will have to be strong to stop such potent offense.

The other part of Super Bowl are the TV commercials. Big money is spent to sell their stuff..

I hope the half time show is a good one. I'll be watching.
