I love to meditate sometimes. To clear your mind of things that may have been bothering you throughout the day is not only good for your soul, but for your health as well. Today is the first day I incorporated meditation in my daily routine, and I'd have to say that it's wonderful!

WTF Moment of the Day
I can't stand hypocrites! Today, while walking down http://www.mapleridgechrysler.com/>the street, I noticed a woman obviously pregnant holding a small sign that read "Abortion is Wrong!" I asked her why she decided to protest in an area that did not have any clinics in sight, http://www.mapleridge-vw.ca/> and she mentioned that there are people who knew that she aborted her first child on the other side of town. It was a major "WTF" moment, to say the least!

Work Out The Workout
Today I started a formal workout, and I'd have to say that I hated it profusely! There's nothing worse than doing the same routines over and over to the sound of corny techno music; I wish that there was a better way to workout, but unfortunately for the time I have allotted, getting in shape to the sound of 80's techno is what I'm reduced to performing each morning. Oh well- at least I will lose some of this excess blubber!

Can You Handle It?
This morning a fitness client started out the pre-workout stretching by telling me he'd do his best today, but at midday Monday he'd been levelled by food poisoning. He suspected it was a shrimp & spinach salad he'd had, which sounded plausible to me. (Shellfish tends to be among the iffiest of foods.) Anyway, I'd planned to have him do only upper body today anyway, so he was ok. I'd hate to have to do lunges after, um, squatting for 30+ hours. And forget Zerchers!
Which brings me to the point: food handling. During my year of professional cook training back in the day it was beaten into us by repetition and scorn that food handling is among the most crucial elements of eating. The days of leaving the turkey in the oven because the fridge is full are long ago. Maybe stomachs were sterner in the days when men were men and sheep were scared, or maybe superbugs are more than just antibiotic resistant. Whatever the case, make sure that every time you eat the food preparers are well schooled in handling what they make.
If you don't only you will suffer.

Apropos of nothing, Led Zeppelin's song "The Ocean" continues to rock the house. That is all.

Happy May 5th Everyone!
From wikipedia:
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at theBattle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.[1][2] While not an "obligatory federal holiday" in Mexico, it is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla, and in the United States.[3][4]
Cinco de Mayo is not "an obligatory federal holiday" in Mexico, but rather a holiday that can be observed voluntarily.[5][6] While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States (also voluntarily) and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.[7] Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day,[8] which actually is September 16,[9] the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico.[10]
