    Recalibration

    So I always have to remember my diet. My eating habits are really important to my GFR and kidney health. No, the kidney’s don’t regenerate, but if I want to maintain my GFR for longer, diet might help.

    A Book(s), A Plate and A Walk

    Today I was seeking adventure, so I donned my writer’s cap and headed to the library

    The end of an era

    I decided to go to Barnes & Noble. My wife said it would be madness there on Black Friday, but I work from home all week and decided to chance the crowds.

    My diet has changed…

    So my diet is in flux. I am on a campaign to eat only my portion. My share. Biblically, it was suggested in a group I attend that if one is in habitual sin, one might not be in the faith. I thought of my food addiction and took the statement to heart. I also…

    Quite a haul…

    A journal for today My wife was wanting to get some stuff done and I needed to get out and do something so I went to my local library, one of my favorite places around town. Unusually, I could not find one book I wanted to borrow. I tried nonfiction (not usually my thing), fiction…

    We go to see the Oakland A’s play most every year. We drive to the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train, and take it to the Coliseum. The ride is pretty nice, and it’s a lot cleaner than the New York subway, although I have good memories of riding the IRT to Manhattan in my…
