Sick and Tired of Feeling Sick and Tired (Not to Mention Hypoglycemic)
My friend Nancy is off to Budapest. Sandy is about to take off to Taiwan. I don’t even want to think about traveling…
Planning Adequately, Eating Poorly
This past week my wife, our dog Ellie, and I were a couple hours west of home doing some much-needed and very anticipated absolutely nothing at a cabin on a lake. Okay, there was hiking, some kayaking, campfires, lots of reading, and good grilling… but for the most part, absolutely nothing…
I’m a Traveling Man Who Has Diabetes
This morning I told my wife that I wasn’t sure what to blog about this week. She then asked me what it was I was thinking about writing on. I said self-pity. I then said, before she had time to comment on my topic of choice, that I was going to approach the self-pity part from the point of view that I rarely, if ever, engage in it when it comes to my diabetes.

The whole joint was jumping. And on a Monday night, yet! Turns out there was a reason.
The Tooth, the Whole Tooth, and Nothing but the Tooth (Mostly)
My long-awaited trip to visit my best friend in Germany is upon me. The light is near, but the end of the tunnel has been filled with potholes. Just when I’m trying to get things done and get ahead a bit so I can fly off on Thursday with nothing hanging over my head, things start to unravel.
