Keto [Tard] Diet Update #1
For the low price of only $5,997 you too can Get Into Ketosis for 180 days! I’m not making that up and I’ll get to it later. This is an assemblage of stuff that’s come to me, that I’ve posted about on my Ketotard Chronicles Facebook Group, or I’ve thought about recently. Let’s begin with…Read More
Instant Pot Hearty Chicken, Vegetable, Pasta Soup
Last week I was a bit high on the fat for my liking so decided to make something in the other direction for the wife and I to eat over the week. I’ll give you the macronutrient breakdown at the end. Let’s get right to it. First, to save even more time, I used…Read More
Quick Mushroom Risotto In The Instant Pot
I actually had no intention of writing a post about making mushroom risotto in the Instant Pot. But, you see, my wife, Beatrice, and I have been having a good time using the LoseIt app with our Fitbits integrated (big, detailed post about all of that in draft) and part of doing that is logging…Read More
The USS Fitzgerald Incident — A Yokosuka Surface Officer’s Take
I was asked for my take on the USS FITZGERALD (DDG-62) collision at sea incident, so here’s what I posted to Facebook yesterday, having read this New York Post article.

Me Doing Aerobatics In The Bellanca Decathlon 8KCAB
My flight log goes all the way back to 1984, when I took a few hours of initial instruction in a Cessna 150 east of San Diego while at SWOS on the Amphib Base, Coronado. Other than during a few flights with pilot friends in the interim, I didn’t get back at the controls in…Read More

The Gourmet Chili Steak Burger
I know many are bugging me here and there to blog about the specifics I’ve gleaned over the last six weeks or so using the LoseIt! app, combined with my FitBit. Thing is, I learned so much in practice that I’ve been doing a lot of study and reading so I can explain it with…Read More
