Veggie Living – Day 5

January 31, 2008

5 days without meat.  If you’d have told me a few months ago I’d be trying this, much less enjoying it, I’d have slapped you.  No seriously, it would have been so off the wall, I’d have actually slapped you. Unless you were a lady or bigger than me
So, I started this experiment [...]

Vegetarian Living – Day 3

January 29, 2008

So, I’m winding down my third day of not consuming animal flesh.  I’ve learned that I’m a Lacto-Ovi-Vegetarian, meaning I eat dairy and eggs. I’ve also learned that, were I to choose this as a permanent lifestyle change, my chances of developing several types of cancer decrease dramatically.  I’ve already determined that I can save [...]

10 things I’m thinking right now.

January 29, 2008

So, I’m going to bring back an old favorite, the “10 things I think” posts – which I unceremoniously hijacked from SI’s Peter King. They were a crowd favorite back in the day.

I promised Keohan I’d run a half-marathon with him in April.
That’s 13 miles on foot.  ‘Tis a long way, no?
Can’t help but feel a bit nervous about this, but it will be interesting.  I’m trucking through 3 miles pretty easily, and apparently this training program will carry me through to the rest.  C’mon shin splints!

What’s wrong with the economy?

January 24, 2008

“The danger is that housing prices continue to tumble and accelerate, people’s ability to pull out equity will evaporate, and you’ll see a serious downturn in consumption.”
This from Dean Baker – chief economist at the center for economic policy.
My translation: “People no longer have access to money they don’t really have – so they won’t [...]

You don’t tell me – I’ll tell you.

January 19, 2008

So, I was reading (actually IN the magazine, not online, heck yeah!) this article from Fast Company.
Before I go off on this rant that I feel welling up, I’m going to make a couple confessions -
1) These guys are probably considerably smarter than me
2) I’ve never read “The Tipping Point” – I just listed it [...]
