Manipulative

Posted on | February 7, 2010 | No Comments

Last night I called upstairs to ask Elaine if she had any cake. She started laughing. And said she would make some today. It worked. And this morning, I called to see if I could pick some oranges for her, and when she said, “Yes”, I ask if she might want lemons, too. You see she makes this amazing lemon pound cake.

She just brought some down. Two small slices. Knowing I am losing weight for the trail.

Pre-trail magic!

Walk well. God is love.

  • Alexandra's Kitchen — Beautiful food, beautiful photography, and wit.

  • Older Healthier — This is the site I have been thinking about building for a decade. Older people have the asset of time during the day. To eat well, exercise consistently, and to help others.
  • Dump DiFi — nothing much. And that is unlikely to change. I will not spend the time to develop the site. But I wish someone else would.
