On November 11 I gave up refined sugar. I indulged in gobs of ice cream and daily mochas the few weeks prior to the big day, and practically made myself sick with sugar. I’ve been sugar-free a whole week. Woo hoo!
For several days I’ve had headaches and aches in the back of my legs, mostly [...]

I’ve not posted much this past month because I’ve been learning. I borrowed some money from my parents and bought a Macbook Pro, a Flip HD digital camera, and Final Cut Express software to edit videos. I’ve never owned a Mac before, so I had to learn how to maneuver around the desktop. I’ve also [...]

Please let me know if you have any trouble viewing the video. This is my first video [...]

Last month several people placed orders [...]

People want to know how to be healthy, what to eat, how to [...]

Erie is warming up. The past week we had several days of sunshine, one night of snow, and now we’re having some rain. I find I miss the sound of rain, which brings me back to sweet memories of evergreen Oregon.
Winter in Erie is a long, gray, cold affair. All the trees have lost [...]

Continued from Part I.
Tom and Mike needed to fit ten cat carriers, a litter box, three boxes of litter, four cases of canned cat food, two suitcases, one valise, two pillows, a bathrobe, two bags, two boxes, a gun case, a few odds and ends and three people in an SUV. They did it somehow.

How to move ten cats from Oregon to Pennsylvania?
My original intent was to drive the cats in my Mazda Speed 6 and tent camp along the way. I wrote about the problems with the trial run in the tent in an earlier post. When I realized camping wouldn’t work, I tried to buy a van, [...]

I finally arrived in Pennsylvania four days ago. All cats are present.
Last week I was busy packing up the last of my belongings, deciding what to take and what to leave behind. What I didn’t post earlier is that after the auction closed without a winning bid, a company in the UK bought some books, [...]
