I just watched Ratatouille last night and I absolutely loved it. It beautifully summarizes all the important themes I've touched on in this blog. Here's a summary.

Our hero rat, Remy, who has been taught to eat garbage all his life decides for himself that ...

I've always said that in my life, I learned the "big L's" from my parents.
My father taught me to laugh. At any time, I can give him a call and in a moment, and he'll make me laugh. He's an Elvis impersonator, need I say more?
My ...

It's been a while since I've posted about food and eating. Though I can't boast about cooking all the time, I can say that I can do it if I need to. What can I say? I'm spoiled right now. There was a time that I did ...

Herein lies the problem. I don't need $7 million dollars in 7 years. I don't think anyone does. ...

To persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man.

Whenever I'm feeling low in enthusiasm or motivation, I always bring up this simple line of reasoning to get me back on track:
Is life affecting me or am I affecting life?
Am I going through the motions or am I putting things in motion?
Am I at the mercy of my distractions; ...

I'm a web newbie, but I'm no stranger to interpreting data. If someone who *knows better* can tell me that what I'm about to say is complete BS, please let me know. (I should add that this goes for all my posts.)

I've discussed topics of variation, correlation and now - perhaps my favorite topic since it is so simple and powerful: conservation.
Food is just one of the things that we consume for which we have to watch our diet. Here's a list of other critical consumables which we can also ...

It was fun while it lasted, but I've decided to stop twittering. It was really cool, but I found it too distracting. I could try to police myself, but that's obviously not a guarantee. I just can't handle it right now. Maybe someday.
There was some great ...
