Well, I'm not in college anymore, so I don't really listen to "those" stations. :-) I'll have to check them out. I think college radio can be pretty killer because they get to play outside of the box, so to speak. Peace!

I just wanted to say thank you guys so much for your Podcast. It is great to hear the LDS perspective on things in an every day perspective. Having moved from So CAl to Tooele Ut it is Great to hear things from a sane point of view again. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

I haven't had a chance to listen, now that you mention it! I do know what I'm missing though. We'll see what next episode brings&#8253

Re: Soda for Grown-ups

Mitchell — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 11:38:11 -0000

Well, well, well. Mitch returns. Glad to see you back.

I've not tried GuS, but I am a lover of hand crafted gourmet sodas. "Micro Brews" if you will. One that I got hooked on in Houston, and just recently have seen around town, is Boylan's. They follow the cane sugar model and they have some great flavors. The best, if you can find it, and I haven't found it in Oregon yet, is Creamy Red Birch Beer. Man could I go for a cold one right now!

You can find their Cane Cola, Black Cherry, and a few others at Market of Choice. I'll check to see if they carry GuS. Often times the websites don't have accurate listings of who carries their sodas since there is usually a middle distributor. I'll check for GuS in a few other locales I frequent.

But for sure, next time I'm in Seattle I'll pick up a bottle for you! Peace out.

I have no clue about these blog sites. I sent you a note on another posting.

Do I know your family? Do you have a brother named Jeff?

Re: 181.4

Mitchell — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 13:18:54 -0000

So, are you counting calories, or just eyeballing your serving sizes? I'm just curious. I usually weigh everything when I'm in full swing, but now I count what I can and eyeball what I can't.

I only weigh in once a week, however. I find it easier to see a change that I can recognize. Plus, I don't think I could look the scale in the eye every day!! I may start posting my weight when I weigh in next Sunday. That should be a laugh!!

Keep on keepin' on!

Sean — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 20:31:26 -0000

I can get rid of .2 of a pound by using the white porcelain bowl in my house! ;-)

I guess people who count their weight in tenths of ounces must be thinking of it in a light of tithing, or something similar. But hey, who am I to judge. I haven't been eating right for a while and I need to get out and ride my bike.

Hmmmm. Tithing your body weight? Interesting discussion topic.

Good on ya! Keep it up, mate!

Re: 181.6: Ready, Set, Go!

Wil Harris — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 08:00:24 -0000

Good luck dude. If you feel like you're having a hard day, just read around the blogosphere and see how other people are doing. Don't focus so much on the end goal - just concentrate on getting up and eating right each day. Do each day at a time and you'll get the results.

This is great. I just had a wonderful snack of celery sticks. And water. I--love--it. It--make--me--feel--so--good. I can't wait until my after lunch snack of low fat yogurt. I won't be hitting 170 any time soon, but I hope to join you there this summer. Good luck.

PS- I hate celery. It is the most boring vegetable ever invented. Oh well...

Re: Deep in the Heart of Texas…

Mitchell — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 11:48:36 -0000

Well, you may recall that I did a short stint down in Houston. Sugar Land to be specific. I can't tell you anything to visit, but for food, I'd recommend you find a Beck's Prime. This is a wonderful burger and steak restaurant. It's almost like "fast-food" steak, but excellent. Hard to describe unless you've been to one. I also recommend the grilled vegetables in place of fries.

If you like Brazilian food, then Emporio Brazilian Cafe on 12288 Westheimer Rd. is the place to go. Get some coxinhas for starters and the "Bife a braileira" for your meal. You can't go wrong and the prices are great.

Finally, if you like donuts, then the best donuts are Shipley's. They should be everywhere and put Krispy Kremes to shame. Shipley's are still hand made, read no high pressure air machine. And when you get a donut, grab a couple of kolaches. These are sausages wrapped in bread with cheese. Awesome!! That's all, don't let me down!

cc cookies... oreos! Amateur... I had a piece of blueberry pie and a lemon square after I wrote that post.

Re: On Being Healthy

Mitchell — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 02:09:44 -0000

Never has the term LOL be more appropriate. I was just working on adding video to my blog so I could start a vlog about my attempt at weight loss. I figured putting myself out there would be motivation enough to get in shape.

I figured most everything out while polishing off some cc cookies, then thought I would add your blog to my blogroll. I bumped by to see that you had added a new entry. How hilarious!! Every weekend is the same story for me, "Oh I'll just binge this last time, then Monday morning..." or my other one, "If I can kill off this package of Oreos, then it won't be there to tempt me next week!"

You are in shape!! Look at me, some 30 pounds into the overweight category and my BMI is apparently horrible. Once again you've inspired me!! Thanks.

mitch — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 20:08:35 -0000

I bet you say that to all the bloggers.

Re: Merrily Meandering Once More

Sean — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 13:24:02 -0000

I agree with Mitchell. If there is anyone who could be inspiring it's you, MC Hammer!

Keep it up.

Re: Merrily Meandering Once More

Mitchell — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 15:13:12 -0000

Well, I never had much of a blog, but I did go from some regularity to months between the posts. Each time I would swear to renew my commitment, and each time, I would fail.

Then I dropped by your blog and it inspired me. I was impressed and thought more about what a blog could be. My original intent for mine was to make a place where my distant family members could communicate, congregate, have fun and keep in touch. It didn't work unless I pushed, so I gave in.

Of course, no one reads mine, but hey, I'm gonna keep at it! So I'm glad your not throwing the towel in, because I just got motivated. Peace in.

Re: Have We Lost The Spam War?

mitch — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 20:44:23 -0000

Hey Mitch,

Glad to hear from you!

I used SpamAssassin for a time, and it is very efficient. But I've used Gmail since it's debut and in my opinion, the spam filtering is the best. What's really cool, is Google Apps will host your domain email giving you the Gmail interface and all the cool stuff that goes with it.

Re: Have We Lost The Spam War?

Mitchell — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 15:55:36 -0000

Had that Nigerian prince been able to lower my mortgage, then I probably would have taken him up!
I was musing on the whole spam thing the other day myself, trying to determine if SpamAssassin would help or hurt. I wondered if Spam would ever "go away", but as you've said, it is a reality of communication. If anything, it has more filters than most. I can't prevent credit card offers from arriving at my house or DirectTV from calling during dinner. At least with email I can do a little traffic directing. As for IM and SMS, I think they will go through a "spam phase" as they mature into accepted forms of communication.
Keep up the blog!
