Horse Chestnuts and Other Things


I picked this horse chestnut up off the ground yesterday while out for my morning walk. It brings back a flood of memories from childhood...bare feet and wet bathing suits and lemonade stands and, yes, craft projects with horse chestnuts. Now I worry that I'll step on one and sprain or break my ankle. Advancing years do much to change one's attitude about things.

I'm on day 4 of my diet/exercise regimen. I was up fairly early and had done my one mile walk by 8:00AM. When I got back, the coffee was ready and I was ready for it. Once the coffee kicked in, I was ready for breakfast...oatmeal and a banana. For dinner, I'm planning a broiled chicken breast and a baked sweet potato (easy on the butter). My worry today is lunch. I agreed to meet a gentleman for lunch to discuss a career opportunity he is considering. It is an area that I know about so he's interested in my opinion. But, that's beside the point...the point is, what do I eat for lunch. We're meeting at The S&P Oyster Company and I know they make a very good caesar salad there. The dressing is probably a bad thing, but the greens are good. Since we're not meeting until 2:00PM, I may just call that an early dinner and skip the evening meal all together. We'll see...I'll let you know.
