I’m really liking this keto
diet thing and not just because of breakfast cheeseburgers. Weight is down over twenty
pounds although the rate of weight loss has slowed, probably a good thing. I noticed it yesterday when I forgot
something upstairs and literally bounded back up taking the stairs in
bunches. I used to be semi-famous for
that (in my distant youth) but it had been years since I could do it. While the bad knee did not fully agree with
my activity I was a little shocked when I reached the top effortlessly. That has been the biggest benefit – the reduced
stress on the knee. I didn’t realize the
slight pain in my knee had become part of my daily routine until it was gone. The reduced weight has given me that and I’m
intensely grateful (big hug to son in law next time I see him).

| Empanada Construction Zone |
The disappointment of
missing my weekly lunch with my son will be assuaged later today when he comes
home for an overnight visit. In
preparation for that his mother and I spent some time last night creating one
of his favorite treats, meat empanadas.
My wife impressed me into service on empanada construction years ago and
I think she regrets it a little because now I know enough to make cogent (to
me) observations on her technique. Buddy
circled like the proverbial shark below the table picking off bits of refugee
hamburger trying to escape entombment in dough.
I find that it’s the little things, like sharing this exercise with my
wife, that fills more than pastries.
