Ice Storm 2026

I was hoping to upload a pic from our recent ice storm but some glitch is preventing me. In the meantime, enjoy this excerpt from one of my favorite short stories “The Snow covered up the grass with her great white cloak, and the Frost painted all the trees silver. Then they invited the North Wind to stay with them, and he came. He was wrapped in furs, and he roared all day about the garden, and blew the chimney-pots down. “This is a delightful spot,” he said, “we must ask the Hail on a visit.” So the Hail came. Every day for three hours he rattled on the roof of the castle till he broke most of the slates, and then he ran round and round the garden as fast as he could go. He was dressed in grey, and his breath was like ice.” (The Selfish Giant, by Oscar Wilde)

Favorite Food

A friend recently posted a picture of a doughnut in a bowl of cereal. The caption read, “the bigger the Cheerio, the better it tastes.” This same friend also posted a picture of piece of chocolate cake. The caption read, “keep cake moist by eating it all in one sitting.” I think my friend is on to something! My cousin posted a pic that reads, “Women belong in the kitchen. Men belong on the kitchen. Everybody belongs in the kitchen. The kitchen has food.” She, too, is on to something!

I’ve learned that it’s best to think of food as fuel--I just keep a full tank, I guess. There are some foods I like more than others--like chocolate. But man cannot live by chocolate alone (did I just write that? Someone feel my head).

Here’s what I like:
  • Pizza Hut Deep Dish Super Supreme Pizza
  • Korean Food
  • Homemade Banana Pudding
  • Ice Cream (the darker the chocolate, the better) with Magic Shell. Must have the Magic Shell. 
I think my favorite dish is one I make myself. It’s a Cabbage recipe and I’m not bragging when I say this--just reporting the news--that my family fight over it. I’ll not give the details (are you kidding) but it involves bacon . . . a specific kind.

Healthy food is really what I’m about. Just because I listed the goodies (above) does not mean I eat them all the time. I do try to eat well and proper and that’s the best. One thing to remember: when in training, the most difficult part is what you put in your body.
