“Over the Lips”

Grandson Dominic turns 16 tomorrow.  That is a magic date for something.  Oh, yeah!  Legally he can drive a car.  Happy Birthday Dominic.

Our hot water heater “puked” (to quote Grasshopper No.5 describing something breaking).  Would you believe it is rusting and contaminating the hot water.  It was installed seven years ago.  I’m told that 7 years is not an abnormal life.  Really?  It gets fixed tomorrow.

I got my belated birthday gift of highly nutritious cupcakes from Grasshopper No.2.  The cupcakes follow closely a Paleo recipe.  I have to say it was very good.  I think No.2 “jacked up” the frosting.

Lately it has been Paleo, Paleo, Paleo.  I know very, very little about the subject but it is affecting my life.  It has something to do with going back to eating what we were biologically designed to eat allowing us to tap genetic potential.  If you want more philosophic rhetoric, you are on your own.

Bottom line on Paleo.  Goodbye to grains, sugar or processed foods.  No bread, pasta, rice or corn.  Hello to meat, vegetables and seasonal fruits.  Sell your McDonald’s stock.

Our lawn is actually beginning to turn “deep green”.

Love,

Dad
