Another 80+ degree day today. It was perhaps a touch on the hot side for my run, mainly because I haven’t run in the heat for so long. I did Oak Creek for the usual 48 minutes but I was feeling it a bit from 30 minutes onward. A combination of being a little tired…

Quarter Finale
I took two quarter classes this semester and they are now over. This leaves three classes to concentrate on for the 4 weeks (plus Spring Break week) remaining in the semester. It will be nice to have all afternoons free (except Monday evening from 6:30 pm to 8:10 pm) and no class on Tuesday at…
A True Hero
Czarek Sokolowski / AP file A Polish woman, Irena Sendler, who rescued 2,500 Jews in the Holocaust was honored by the Polish parliament today. When arrested by the Nazis in 1943, she refused to give up the names of the Jews she saved, who were mostly children, even after being severely tortured. She is a…
Sunny days keep coming…

Some political commentary
I think I am finally starting to turn the corner on the sickness. The nasal congestion is diminishing, my beloved voice is returning, and my taste buds are springing back to life (slowly). For no reason other than this, I am in a cheerful mood 🙂 This blog is not a political forum for me,…
Taste too?
Losing my voice and breathing ability through my nose was surely enough, but it appears I have also lost my ability to taste! This is a real shame because without taste there is really no delight in eating. It’s perverse being sick when it is so nice outside too. However, the fact that my sinuses…
Ten Suggestions for Efficient Workouts
Here are some ways to get more out of your workout the next time you go the gym: 1. Shorten recovery time: In the vast majority of instances, you do not need full recovery between exercises. People have a tendency to “dream” or socialize between sets/exercise. We are all busy people, so if you make…
