What is in your cup? - Page 2014

Off to give the local Physiotherapist a shot at this pinched nerve. Though now that my massage therapist is back in town, it's definitely better.

Peet's Anniversary Breakfast Blend tea.

Third mug of tea on a busy day.

I have seen the mornin' burnin' golden on the mountain in the skies
Achin' with the feelin' of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turnin' on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dyin'
Healin' as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes

Wakin' in the mornin' to the feelin' of her fingers on my skin
Wipin' out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
Teachin' me that yesterday was somethin' that I'd never thought of trying'
Talkin' of tomorrow and the money love and time we had to spend
Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

Good morning everyone! Today we can wish a happy birthday to Charlie Darwin and Abe Lincoln! I hope you enjoy your day, boys! This 'used to be' a National Holiday back when I was a kid, but for Abe, not Charlie. No matter... they took away his toys.

Big mug of East India Company's 'Royal Breakfast' tea in my cup this morn, another fine way to start another fine day. Just about time for me to go down and visit the Food Lady and get some vittles down my neck before starting my day. My very good friend, Dr.Jolie Bookspan and her husband Paul are in town for a week, and we have adventures to find! One of the world's leading physiologists, as usual she'll get my body parts tuned up and moving pain-free once again during her visit, and I'll cook up a big vegetarian feast for her to repay. This is a yearly event, going back almost 15 years when she first contacted me for photography lessons, and we became good friends.

For those of you with back/knee/shoulder difficulties, Jolie has loads of free tips for freeing yourself of the pain easily, effortlessly, and painlessly on her website, which lead to her being given the nickname, the St.Jude of Joints! OK... off to play!

Pinot Grigio

Red Bull on the last working day of Lunar Year. The next one will start on 19 Feb 2015 and it's gonna be Year of the Goat!

Sparkling water. Yesterday I discovered that I had consumed 18 cans of the water. Not entirely certain what to do with that info

cromag · 02-13-2015, 05:07 PM

Second mug of tea.

In one day? And how big are the cans? I'm aiming for 72 ounces of liquid a day, per my heart doctor's instructions. However, even at 8 oz each, if you did 18 in one day, you've surpassed that by a long shot! (144 ounces). Maybe you really needed to rehydrate.

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubador is acting on His part.
The union of your spirits, here, has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is Love. There is Love.

A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning is now and til the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
And there is Love. There is Love.

Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it Love that brings you here or Love that brings you life?
And if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh there's Love, there is Love.

Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is Love. There is Love.

... there is love.

Twenty years ago today... He was right there beside us as we made our vows to each other. Valentine's Day, 1995... Twenty years ago... Another new 'Personal Best!'

Good morning, everyone! Happy Valentine's Day! We're celebrating it with a bigger than usual mug of unbranded Keemun tea before we go off to our clubs for the afternoon, she playing table tennis and me fencing. Then we'll hook up again this evening for a big dinner out at our favorite restaurant, celebrating together with Dr. Jolie and her husband who leave Thailand tomorrow morning for another year. It's going to be a delightful day!

Back home after a quick trip to Seattle/Tacoma. Went down to celebrate the retirement of a good friend who has just retired from the railroad, celebrated his 65th birthday and moved from the east coast to Burein, near SeaTac. Took him to one of my favourite restaurants, Le Pichet, on 1st Avenue in Seattle. I'm really looking forward to having them closer than the other side of the continent.

Celebrated last night with a quite nice Champagne at a modest price.

But tonight, a large Talisker Storm.

CRussel · 02-15-2015, 11:42 AM

Fresh squeezed orange juice, and a mug of Peet's Irish Breakfast tea. I picked this up while we were down in Washington, and it's much like their English Breakfast, only more so.

Hearty, malty, and with a noticeable "bite" to it, but still a delightful tea. Definitely one that can handle milk, and if you over-brew it, you'll need milk.

Sancerre (red) with Sunday lunch.

same size can as a soda. I prefer these in the cans to the 2 litre plastic bottles as those tend to run flat more often than not

Second mug of tea on a c-c-cold day!
