Food for Thought

OBJZS. The food update. This is going to spike readership.

Lemme see. Breakfast blown off. Early lunch (11:24 am) was the remaining lean chicken with zucchini and onions. To make up for the missed breakfast, it was time for some of mom's famous eggplant parm, a couple of healthy wedges' worth. Oooh fah. Let's not forget the english muffin, too. At least it was plain. Those things are so damned good, though, especially if you have not had then for a long while.

After lunch I ate a bosc pear and an apple.

It think I did not eat thereafter for a while, then it was a late-afternoon trip to the doc (everything's copasetic). Then we stopped at Wild Noodles, and I scored the thai noodles with chicken and broccoli. I also are a small piece of focaccia break with a scoop of sauce. This happened at the unusually early eating hour of 5:45.

Later on, I had a nice compliment of green grapes, then pushed across the evening visit with the peanut gallery (more than a handful) while watching The Amazing Race. The annoying yet somehow loveable New York family remained alive.

For the day, I had a couple of glasses of diet green iced tea (the Arizona kind) and the usual large Dunkin' Donuts decaf french vanilla with skim, very light.

I just had to get up a second ago and look in the fridge to see if I missed something I ate. I might have to chart this thing a little more closely so I am not sitting here trying to recount it and thus miss some important things, like eating 20 cookies or wicked sugar-loaded crapola.

I might have some final freedom the next couple of days, thanks to getting some work done. I am dying to work out, and I might do just that. Anything that makes my pants fit better, my blood pressure and cholesterol go down and my thyroid production and metabolish up, that's gotta be good.

Not much of a further comment on the post-Yankees fallout. I guess I have so much other crap on my mind and was not expecting then to win in the first round that there is some perspective on it. Nice entertainment, helps me sometimes get a supplemental paycheck, but does not change my life in the grand scheme of things.

Maybe one quick comment/thought: Stop the freakin' A-Rod bashing. My goodness, the guy was off for five games with his bat, and everyone is lopping this whole loss on him. Whatever happened to, "We win as a team, we lose as a team"? They lost, and they're a team. He is one guy. His defense was good, with one big mistake. But in five games they had enough chances to win that he could not take the full brunt of the blame. If he was not "on" then his boys should have picked him up. End of story.

Maybe if they had managed to win the series, A-Rod would have dismantled the White Sox by himself and Jeter would have struggled. Even my father thinks A-Rod is overrated. I do not. I do not think there is a better player in the game. Maybe there are some who are as good or as valuable, but no one better. People used to lop the same crap on John Elway.

That's all it is: crap. Glad I did not eat much of it today.
