Irritating things I have learned this week.

A chocolate calorie IS different from a fruit calorie. After more than a month at or near the very same weight, my conclusion is that I am eating too many snacks for the savory pleasure, and not enough snacks as part of my big nutrition picture. I am just not interested in earnestly trying to reach goal weight (about 10 pounds from that).

Weigh-in today shows that I am still "living in the same neighborhood." I guess I am starting to get tired of the plateau, and thinking that maybe I can find the strength to be more true in my efforts and break the plateau.

I get nothing done on the long-term projects and feel further and further away from a real sense of accomplishment.One very nice thing did happen on this first week back after vacation. It was the season for salary review. I guess I was found sa...

He traveled around the world to different altercations taking photographs of the struggles. As part of the novel, the author wrote about men and women photojournalists who had changed the way photography was used during war. Robert Capa was one name mentioned, James Nachtwey was another, there...
