I caught a stomach bug. Spent hours awake last night trying to stop from upchucking my supper. I eventually failed. First time that has happened in possibly 15 years! Yuck.
Now, it’s 5 pm and I do not feel like eating, and have very little energy. Had a banana and 2 cups of peppermint tea (research [...]
Well, sort of, but not quite.
I had a movie made today. Of my colon!
Doesn’t that sound like something to watch over a plate of the awesome chicken stew I made yesterday?
Here is how it went down.
I am a typical bad boy, having not had a complete physical done by a doctor in over 5 years. [...]
I do not know if it has ever been scientifically proven, but it seems that men go to their doctor much less consistently than women.
Grandpa Richard is no exception. I am not sure, but I think my last complete physical was about 5 years ago. Considering that men over 50 should be doing that at [...]
When they are not visiting their grandchildren, that is.
Well, playing with computers, writing for blogs, shopping, laundry, walking, cycling, going to social events or out on dates, and …
… in some cases taking in strange events. Events like the annual Zombie Walk here in Toronto.
I am not a fan of Zombie movies, but thought it [...]
This weekend has seen me do something that I have not done in, quite literally, decades. In fact, make that 2 somethings.
First. On Saturday night I went to a progressive Euchre meet up. I do not think that I have played that much euchre since grade 13. We used to play every lunch at school. [...]
When it comes to computer health, I have been blessed over the years. That blessing ended last Friday.
My primary “used mainly for internet” computer had started to have problems powering up early last week. It crashed / died on Friday. I really thought it was the power supply, so I replaced it. Nope. Now what?
The [...]
It took a while, but low priced digital cameras have really gotten up to speed now. So many people are taking photos. Whether from camera phones, or small point-and-shoots, or fancier digital SLRs. Cameras are everywhere.
The same is starting to happen with video. Most (all?) newer cameras can also take video, and YouTube is so [...]
Sorry. I am not very inspired these days. I think it is the high humidity and heat levels. (and no air conditioning in my suite)
Grandpa Richard loves walking. Unfortunately, I injured my left heel, and too much walking aggravates it. Cycling does not seem to bother the heel. I used to race, and so I should get back on my bike.
I still own my original racing bike. I got an estimate of $250 to service it, as it has [...]
