Yes, those Vikings were prolific! I had no idea Kiev had been the capital of the region. My great-grandfather left around the time of the Russian revolution and came to America alone at age 16. One of

Not really. I assume all of my genetic information has already been sold by 23&Me before I deleted my data with them last month. I would be more hesitant if I hadn't already done the test with them

Thanks! Wow, their grills look really nice. I appreciate the suggestion!

It's definitely going full-steam! I can't wait to share it with you all. Thank you! I'm working on my final proof today and tomorrow and then it'll be uploaded and I'll be able to order the physical author

Thank you Nancy! My curiosity is the thing that keeps me going. I don't know how I would live without it. I think you have that same trait in you. I can't wait to start grilling again! I haven't been able

It's fine that you don't have a literary background! If you're interested in being part of the launch team just feel free to email me before next Friday. Thank you my friend! The roller-coaster ride of

Weber is a very solid brand. I actually found something yesterday I think might work for my situation. It's a Ninja Woodfire Pro. I have more research to do, especially on the cooking surface. I don't

I've gotten to this point several times in my nine years here. It's perfectly natural and healthy to take breaks. I think a month is the longest stretch I've gone without posting but something always calls

Middle age is definitely when your lifestyle and quality of your inner thoughts begin to show in your body.

That kind of socializing is so restorative! I love how when you're with a group and the conversation is flowing so well that you lose all sense of time. I'm sorry to hear about the burn-out but glad you

I really like that idea of taking short breaks while working. That would be helpful if you had a physical job or a desk job. Thank you my friend I hope you're having a great week!

Thank you! It was definitely an epiphany. After that massage I felt everything shift, kind of like doing a hard reset on a computer. Yeah, there's just been like an avalanche of things, both good and bad,
