First Full Day of Fall

So, the baby girl is away at college, the boulevard maples have already lost almost all of their leaves, giving us the fall color show in August and September instead of just starting now, I have finally cracked the eating and exercise code (with some help from the blogs I follow) for myself, and I decided to get back onto the writing portion of this blog, instead of just checking in on the ones that I follow.
Last weekend we enjoyed some time at our favorite B&B and found a nice wine bar - in July, I visited some Michigan wineries with a friend and learned I have a 2 winery (per day) limit. I have just learned about some Minnesota wineries I'd like to check out.
In August, I learned about something that I believe will change the face of energy production (go check out Daniel Nocera of MIT) and was inspired to study Organic Chemistry - just for the fun of it. Go figure! I have also been checking out some of the old "classics" (rhetoric, logic, etc) besides reading some fun stuff besides. Oh, and go see Food, Inc, and then locate a source for grass-fed beef. Read the Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith to see why you should be eating meat in the first place. :-)
My job continues to be finding joy, and I am getting very good at it. If you want to find out what I think is the key to solving the eating/exercise mystery, email me and I will certainly be happy to let you know. It is so simple that it is ridiculous that it took me 56 years to figure it out, or should I say - to remember!
Have a great fall!
