It is Monday morning, January 17, 2022. It’s going to be a day. On the plus side, it’s a national holiday, a day of remembrance for perhaps the greatest civil rights leader in US history, Martin Luthor King. Also on the plus side, the Chiefs knocked off the Steelers and likely sent Ben Roethlisberger riding …

Day 21,307
It is Sunday, January 16, 2022. I have a cup of coffee clearly in need of a refill, so that may be the ultimate limiting factor in determining the length of this blog post. I’m going to try and give my brain a day off. I say that and I immediately turn to the topics …

Day 21,306
Had to double-check my days… in the past I’ve often popped in the wrong day (how many days I’ve been alive), but I have made it a regular task to go check my “How many days have you been alive” page at imrodmartin.com. 58 years and change. With more change to come, I guess. It’s …

Day 21,305
Today is Friday, January 14, 2022. Watching some of the news and it’s all gloom and doom. Kind of got me thinking, and I’m going to start off with a story about lemmings. Back in the 50’s, Disney was very good at making nature documentaries. It dove-tailed very well with their family-friendly movies and television …

Day 21,304
Good morning! It is Thursday, January 13, 2022. Today is the last day of my new course delivery, and next week, I get to do it all over again. Regarding my post the other day when I was a bit “under it”, meaning the weather. I had an old friend reach out to me in …

Day 21,303
It is Wednesday morning, January 12, 2022. I’m breathing a little easier today. Yesterday I delivered the first day of a new class, and it went OK. I’ll be the first to admit that I was dealing with some anxiety (as well as being under the weather), but we got through the day just fine …

Day 21,302
It is Tuesday morning, January 11, 2021. I normally wake to my alarm at 5:30 AM on delivery days. Today it felt more like I just rolled out of bed rather than wake up, as I feel like I tossed and turned most of the night with thoughts about my delivery today (first-time content), as …

Day 21,301
It is Monday morning, January 10, 2022. Started off the day with a little good news. I’m back on my meal plan, and I am down almost a full seven pounds from where I was last week at this time. Up the hydration, down the carbs, and discipline, discipline, discipline. I do believe combining my …

Day 21,300
It is Sunday morning, January 9, 2022. I made a mistake this morning. My wife gifted me with a Flaviar subscription, for which I am truly grateful. Part of my quarterly shipment is a small, three-vial tasting sampler set. It comes in a cylindrical container with a slip-off top. I had shown that wonderful gift …

Day 21,299
Today is a Saturday, January 8, 2022. Nobody’s making people into Soylent Green yet. A great performer passed away yesterday, legendary actor Sidney Poitier, and I’ve read several tributes to him. One that particularly grabbed my attention was the reflection by Halle Berry, posting a quote from Mr. Poitier’s book, “Life Beyond Measure”. “A tiny …
