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…

Spring!

While the calendar doesn’t say it is Spring, it sure feels like it in sunny Palo Alto. Today was the third day in a row of high temperatures in the low 70’s under clear blue skies and blazing sunshine. After a dip into the mid 60s tomorrow, the sun is supposed is to take over…

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.

It’s Been Awhile

Sorry, no postings for a few days, I have been extremely busy. Lots of things to take care of while still doing the normal doses of class work and reading. I am pretty sure this is going to be the busiest part of the semester for me. The initial research stage for my research on…

EE Presentation

Classes, meetings, presentations, homework, and a pizza party sums it up. The presentation was for a business plan in Environmental Entrepreneurship (EE), a class I am taking at the business school. Our business plan is for a microfungal bioremediation start-up out of Port Angeles, WA called The Remediators . They basically clean up contaminated soils…

White Peach Tea

I got some Celestial Seasonings Imperial White Peach tea today and it has made for quite an enjoyable drinking experience this evening. A delicate but yet sweet blend leaving me wanting more, and fortunately, the flavor lasts into the third cup! I think Celestial Seasonings produces fantastic teas on the whole and I highly recommend…
