The Center of the Anomaly

Well, I started another blog - Fat Man Blogging.  As you might expect from the title, it’s where I’m going to record my efforts to lose weight and related information.  Why another blog, when I hardly ever do anything with this one?  Because I can and it’s free.  Also, I want to keep a tight focus without a bunch of extraneous stuff.  I am going to try and keep it updated every day.  Drop by if you’re inclined!

I’m about to head over to my parents for New Year’s dinner.  We’re having shrimp cocktails, prime rib and some other stuff.  We supposed to have some 300,000 people in town crowding the Strip and downtown for the evenings festivities and a big fireworks display shooting off the tops of the casinos.  I haven’t done New Year’s on the Strip in many years, and tonight will be no different.  Hell, I don’t even stay up until midnight anymore, so 2008 will have to ring itself in around here.  Y’all have a happy one and be safe. 

So, any New Year’s Resolutions from you out there in internetland?

Thanks for all the visits to my little corner of the interwebberytubes and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.  I’m going to head out and have Christmas Eve dinner with my parents and wrap presents.   Later!

Man killed attempting to shoot greatest LOLcats photo evah! 

Human stupidity never fails to amaze me.  Note to the teeming throngs of my visitors:  do not fuck with the tigers at the zoo.   Do not fuck with them in the wild either.  Or the bears.  Or lions.  Or whatever the hell else that can rip you to shreds in an instant mmkay?

***Update***

Speaking of tigers - y’all remember Roy Horn of “Siegfried & Roy” the long running magic act here in Las Vegas?  He nearly died a couple years ago from a tiger attack that happened during one of the shows, and his injuries were so severe that it was predicted that he would never fully recover from them.  Well, according to my Mom, there are rumors around town that he has in fact made a very remarkable recovery even to the point where they are considering a return to the Strip!  At least, in some form or another. 

One of the things I’ve loved the most to make and eat since I was a kid is cheese toast.  Bread + butter + sliced cheese +  toasty heat = crazy delicious.  Here’s tonight’s fare:

Mmmmmmm - cheeeezy! 

That was sourdough bread and Land O’ Lakes sharp cheddar.  I got it a little done, but it was still wonderful.  Sometimes, if I’m feeling indulgent I add a schmear of sour cream too.  The richness acts like a force multiplyer. 

So, do any of you have any favorite simple foods?
