My growing up is partly a blur, perhaps because it ended about 40 years ago, and partly because it was less than ideal. However, I am grateful.
I am also grateful for the memory of a joke book I once had.… Read the rest

Winter is tough!! There comes a lot of bad eating, in order to get the energy to face the stress that comes with weather, Patriots games, rising prices, violence in the world and other difficulties in this competitive world.
The world’s most widely-acclaimed Macrobiotic healer, Warren Kramer, has told me in the past that I “know a lot” about Macrobiotics.… Read the rest
I love a good outdoor market. A closure brought me through the Sumner Tunnel the other day, and I found myself at Haymarket, where the senses are delighted.
$17 later, I was carrying four bags of produce with amazing bargains:
- 3 avocados for $2
- 2 pints of blueberries for $5
- a head of lettuce for $.50
- 2 giant leeks for $2
- a giant head of cauliflower for $2
- a giant bag of grapes for $1.50
- an eggplant for $.75
- a cucumber for $.50
- Three scallion bunches for $1.00
- a GIANT bag of mesclun salad mix for $2.00
- a big bag of fingerling potatoes
All I could think of was the savings of $25 or more vs.… Read the rest
I love chips, dips, cookies, brownies, pie, canolies, wine, and coffee, and I had all of those yesterday. My wife knows how to use moderation–I overate of course.
This morning I was still full, and of course could not have a bowel movement.… Read the rest
Today I’ve had some nice interactions with people.
First, I went to my new bank, TD Bank. This company knows how to do things right. No waiting, friendly tellers, beautiful buildings, and even a dog dish filled with water for guests!… Read the rest
In the past two days, I’ve eaten things I regularly don’t. Stress, holidays, weakness, whatever.
Many people have no symptoms when they eat this way, because they have strong constitution, or because they’ve always eaten this way, but I am sensitive, so I feel:
- Listless
- Irritable
- Constipated
- Not hungry
To get this stuff (mostly cheese, some sugar) out, I’m using something called Ume-Sho-Kuzu, with a pickled umeboshi plum, shoyu (high quality soy sauce) and kuzu (aka kudzu, a white rock that comes mainly from Louisiana these days).… Read the rest
Often, I hear stories of people who gave up the corporate world, to open an ice cream store or start baking cookies for a living. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
The world is full of ice cream and cookies, but we are still a sick and depressed bunch.… Read the rest
Most of us cannot resist cheese. There are a million reasons not to eat it, but let’s not go there right now.
If you ate cheese (or some other dairy product), you are going to test your body’s immune system, as there are millions of harmful bacteria in there that all want to live.… Read the rest
I must admit, this happened to me as well.
Turns out, I cannot eat as much ice cream, soy ice cream, coconut ice cream, and cold beverages as I want, and do just fine.
Started out with a little earache, then a little crinkle, then BOOM–I lost half my hearing in my right ear, and it feels like there is a wetness in there.… Read the rest
Awoke at 5:45 in our beachfront cabin in Dennisport today. A beautiful day, although it is raining.
Had a nice walk along the beach, and did my affirmations and do-in.
We had ice cream after a healthy dinner last night.
The wife is making coffee.… Read the rest
