I went to almost two hours in my morning sitting Zen. Never happened before! Clearly, something has changed.

Here is a really simple recipe for Coffee Pie.



If you can't read it on the screen, save it to your drive and open the JPEG. Then you can enlarge or print it.

We ate so much over the weekend. I was going to bake two pies but it got too hot. I just hate baking in the heat. Also, it affects the crust.

My rhubarb is flourishing. I must do a strawberry rhubarb pie sometime this week. Maybe two.

The cats have been lying on the tiles or on the glass coffee table where it is cooler. Hobbes claims the kitchen sink, of course, as he always does. The sink is stainless steel and quite cool to the touch.

I have had windows open and fans running for days. Even yesterday when it rained about ten hours I left them open. A cat (or two) is always in the window.

It is slightly cooler today.

I think it is time to begin practicing golf again. The doc said wait till June. It is June. I can't just walk out on the course, though. I need range and putt practice. My muscles have atrophied some.

I always wear headbands when it is hot and humid. My head sweat burns my eyes. People see the headbands and make cute comments such as "Were you at the gym?" or "You must work out."

I just look back at them and smile.

I joined a gym once in CA. It was a chain owned by an old health nut who every year swam in some lagoon pulling a cabin cruiser with a rope in his teeth. I think his name was Jack LeLanne. He did that into his 80s. I believe he passed away.

I went to that gym about ten times, and men my age were spending most of their time in the sauna or in the pool. I wanted to work on the machines, but the lines were long. I always tried to do thirty repetitions on each weight machine and about twenty minutes on the hill bike. Finally, I got tired of it and just didn't go back.

I can still see those guys who went with me at 4:30 in the morning, skipping the exercise machines and heading straight for the sauna! LOL

We couldn't go until 4:30 because from midnight to that time the gym was for women only. It was segregated then. I understand that now most gyms are coed.
