At the middle point of my work week. Purchased some green tea from Peet's online and just had my second gigantic cup (the Starbucks Coffee cup won at our last reunion); pretty good taste and there is a choice from a variety of three teas.
I started Weight Watchers on November 20th and have lost 3 lbs. I haven't been following it to the letter, but at least there's hope. Right now about the only exercise I am getting is my bicycle time with Nancy. My knee is really bothering me which limits any kind aerobic motion on the ground. I'll see the doctor on the 11th to figure out my next step. I suspect part of the problem is repetitive motion and pressure applied to the foot feed (accelerator) for so many years. Yesterday, I adjusted the height of the seat to see if I can cause any change for the better.
I'll try to read Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations since this is the genesis for free market style economy. I'm a slow reader, but I want to go through every sentence to see if ever there is any mention of social responsibility. I doubt it since the premise of Milton Freidman's economic philosophy is that the free market alone will make adjustments along the way to keep an economy strong. This dilemna our nation and world faces is extremely worrisome. I've heard that it is quite conceivable that every man, woman and child in the U.S. is burdened with a debt of $60 thousand plus. The U.S. citizenry will never be able to ascertain with certainty, because so much of budget is off limits for accounting because of national security.
Well breakfast is coming to mind, obviously I'll be doing my lentil thing.
