    Two Years in Vermont

    This was supposed to be a One Year in Vermont post. C’est la vie! The Move I’m mostly going to skip this. It was terrible. Scammers, felons, no mover the day before we had to be out of the house, panic attacks. It got done. It was not cheap or pretty or convenient, and yes, […]

    Quick link to the App Store in case you don’t want to read. Background Many, many years ago (5? 6? Yeah, 5) I “invented” a points-based diet based on one I found in Racing Weight. For a year or two, when I followed it, I printed out a spreadsheet and tracked via paper. It worked, […]
