Spring Break and Augie went to an island. His Mama bought him 50 free texts, and the rest were on him...hence the radio silence:

And The Bird? Much more local. And much more chatty.
As you can see, Mama is still trying to eat more nutritious food. Life is excellent.

It's Monday!

Here's your pep-talk:

Better Get to Church Early Tomorrow.....

You Are 68% Good

You are a good person. You do the best you can to be ethical, fair, and moral. And as you know, being a good person means making hard decisions... and following them through. If you're confronted with an ethical dilemma, you will usually do the right thing. Of course you do slip up. No one's perfect. But you do your best to correct your missteps. You are also probably: incredibly honest, especially with yourself Right now you are on track to being: A respected leader To be a better person: Be kind to someone who is not very kind to you

How Good Are You?

Friday Facts

You asked; I attempt to answer:

• This is a complete juice cleanse of 5 days. I am doing this with two coworkers.
• We are doing it through a local vegan juice stand.
• Every morning, we have warm water, cayenne pepper and half a lemon. I have grown overly fond of this concoction.
• Every two or two and a half hours, we drink our prescribed juice. There are 6 16-ounce drinks and they must be consumed in a particular order.
• The juices have been...interesting. And only yesterday did I encounter one I could not even sip. But the one after that was watermelon, and it made up for the whole episode.
• I was hungry a few times the first day but if it was bad, I just started drinking the next scheduled juice.
• We can also sip on water and herbal teas.
• No caffeine, no wine, no nothing but the juices.
• I feel like a million bucks.
• The bathroom: Plenty of kidney action, but, as many of you want to know: since the second day, the colon must be empty. Nothing. And we are all making the same observations.
• Today is the last day, and I am a little sad. I am contemplating purchasing a juicer.
• We will get instructions today about reintroducing solid food, and I expect it will be mostly continuing to eat a raw, plant based diet. And I am all for this.
• I will weigh myself tomorrow. I think I have lost a few pounds, but I just feel different. My morning arthritis is gone, my sense of smell and taste are more sharp, my skin is softer and clearer, and I had to move my watch buckle over two holes. I think all that stuff about inflammation must be true.
• Yes, I do feel proud of myself. And maybe a little virtuous.
• I am definitely going to do this again.

Any other?

The one where I start a 5 day juice cleanse and can find no love:

I don't think she even cares. I'm all behind her on this college business, but, still...

And this morning, I sit here sipping my lemon/cayenne water, and I wonder what the juice genies have prepared for us today. Stay tuned.
