Mackinac

My husband and I went to Mackinac already this year. It was a kind of spur of the moment type thing. The Murray Hotel was running a special and my husband, half-joking, said we should go over Memorial week-end. In a drowsy haze I told him, “Book it.” So he did. We went up on a Saturday and spent 2 nights on the Island. We did lots of hiking (we had great weather)…we went out and got plastered. It was nice to be kid free. Now what to do for our anniversary? I don’t know…

It was foggy over the Straits on the ferry ride back. So awesome!

Seven Years

Two weeks until me and my husband’s seventh wedding anniversary. We have been together 15 years all told. I rediscovered some wedding pics a friend took– I had forgotten all about them.

Writing

Not to sound like a snob, but…

Even though I was (WAS) a high school drop out, before I got my advanced degrees I still could write better than many high school graduates. This is quite sad when you think of it. Are Americans that damn illiterate–coming out of school without know how to put a proper sentence together– or is it that they just are lazy and don’t give a damn? I suppose I think it is both; our education system is failing us but also, our culture is a lazy one and is getting dumber in many ways.  Do we blame technology for the latter? I don’t think so…perhaps in small ways. Though I may be full of it and people have always been fairly illiterate and I just never noticed.

Cheating Death?

There’s an Easy Way to Cut Your Chance of Death by 42%

The concept is to eat 7 or more servings of vegetables daily, and the servings probably have to be fresh, not canned or frozen. I’ll have to try this. Then I’ll eat less junk, less meat. I’ll lose weight quickly. I just don’t know what I’ll eat– I like fruits and vegetables (more so vegetables) but I am limited as to preparation. I need some new recipes…and time. I suppose I can keep it simple at first– salads, steamed veggies and brown rice– then try more complicated dishes once I have more time.
