China: “Been there, done that,” before going there, doing that

Rice: Georgia shot first, and more

South Beach Diet: Day 1
Well, my wife and I decided to start up the South Beach Diet again. I suspect it’s worth doing for a few months of every year for the heart benefits. Weighed in today at 204 (though folks swear I look … Continue reading
