I’m officially on day 2 of the new gig and I’m coming to you from Chapel Hill North Carolina. Apparently starting a new job wasn’t enough…instead, my boss wanted me to start it in NC during a 3 day offsite with people I’d never met before.

Hot Dog
Someone is hot. And he’s kind of been driving my crazy since we got home. It was about 90 F so it was too hot to walk him after work which made him extra wild (this dog knows when it’s time for his walk and for food) and he ended up running around through the… Continue Reading

Does sugar cause cancer?
Not to bombard you with posts today but I just read this article and had to share. Is Sugar Toxic? – NYTimes.com. Pretty long but basically calls out some serious research that has been done linking sugar to cancer. Both sucrose (beet and cane sugar whether white or brown) and high fructose corn syrup. … Continue Reading
