On Fancy Yog(h)urt
THIS WAS WRITTEN 7 YEARS AGO. I AM CLEANING UP OLD POST DRAFTS. I DON’T KNOW WHY I DIDN’T POST THIS. I’ve gone ahead and updated links, which was interesting because so many of these brands have changed hands since that time. Only minor edits and fixes made. I’ve compiled the following list of yogurts over the past six months in hopes that it’ll…

I Made It
30. I felt I became an adult last month, but this makes it official… Definitely old. 30 years ago today in Frankford Hospital, out popped little me. Mom says it was quick and relatively painless. I think I’ve maintained those characteristics after all these years… Nothing special to note. I enter a new age-group for age-group scoring in races, but I’m still in the “Open”…
