January 9, 2024: All work and no sugar makes Joe a dull boy.
Today marks my first sugar-free week. Do I feel better? Healthier? Calmer? Have more energy? Less emotionally volatile? NONE of the above. I feel NO different. Got one more week of this to confirm going off sugar makes absolutely no difference. To me anyway. Damn, but I do miss chocolate. Well, well, well. If it…

January 6, 2024: Today’s Blog Entry!
When we were kids, my sister and I dreaded our annual family car trips to Toronto. It was a roughly 350 miles trek. Six and half hours, of tedium, occasional nausea, and egg salad sandwiches with overly large chunks of raw white onion that my mom would prepare for the ride. Whenever my sister and…

Spiral/Engrenages (2005 - 2020) Season 2 Follows criminal investigations in Paris from all the different points of view of those involved.

Then, today, we celebrated New Year's day in the Japanese way - with TWO types of ossechi compliments of Dr. Blackjack: The menus... The ossechi... With special guest star...bottarga! The desserts were Italian-style: pistachio…

Waiting for the bus. "Okay, guess I'm walking"... Coffee outings... New glasses... Sharky got a little sharky with the other dogs and had to be separated... He doesn't like other dogs (especially bigger dogs) getting all up in his grill. He did, however, get along with mom's dog, Caramel. Relaxing with dad. The trip home...…
December 30, 2023: The Crime Binge continues!
Crime (2021 - ) When an Edinburgh schoolgirl is abducted, DI Ray Lennox investigates her disappearance whilst confronting his own past trauma. My thoughts: Predictable, Overwrought.
