Good Times

Ah, manna from the gods...well, actually two mannas, which have lately been my diet. I cannot have enough fruit and yogurt. The local stores sell fresh, cut-up fruit in plastic bowls. Plop a cup of cherry low- or non-fat yogurt on them and voila! I'm full and my very-deadly sweet tooth is satisfied.

And pancakes are the best thing ever. And this web site says they're only 64 (!) calories a serving. Can that be right? If you know the truth...I can handle it.

And for the record, I'm a little suspicious of calorie calculators because the simple ones don't account for physiology and geography, but I haven't found one that works. And there's probably only a 10-20% +- error rate, anyway...

After I biked home yesterday, we all sat around the house and waited for Liz's parents to show for lunch, as Trina asked them. They didn't show up until 4:00 because Liz's mom did what she wanted to do like always. We got to listen to them talk...and talk...and talk. I learned long ago they have selective hearing when I'm in the room, so I played the silent, dutitive husband and let them blather on. They gave Trina a nice going-away present and took us to dinner.

The biggest downside of the evening is Liz's dad promised to take Liz, Lara, and Danielle to Ireland next summer for Liz's brother's wedding. It started off that it was just going to be Lara and Danielle until I pointed out that Liz should go to her brother's wedding, which somehow never occurred to her parents. After they left, Liz said based on her personal experience, her father probably wouldn't have the money, anyway, and that no one should get their hopes up. I told the girls that if they really wanted to go see a wedding in an Irish castle, then they should jobs and start saving their money right now. All in all, a normal visit.

Kicked butt on the stationary bike. Need to do that more often.
