I’m riding 35 miles in the Chicagoland Tour de Cure this June to raise money to help STOP diabetes. I’m also riding to support my husband +David Gibbs in his own ride – he’s the leader of Team RED. Tour de Cure is a major fundraising event for the American Diabetes Association. I’m also riding because it’s fun, and great exercise. I’ll be training over the winter in our basement, and I’ll get training stats up on STRAVA, a fitness social media site. If I raise just $100 by Friday, I qualify for an “In Training” T-shirt. So please consider…

We made it tonight, and it was really low in carbs. It needs a little more color, so next time we'll try it with red bell pepper added, and maybe some red pepper flakes.

How to find unread emails after updating to iOS 7 on the iPhone: simply type "Unread" into the inbox search field for either all inboxes, or specific inboxes. After the update apparently the mail app looks at your entire account; if like me you don't delete everything once it's read, you might have dozens of "unread" emails dating back years. I had 3 pesky emails in 2 accounts that had been marked unread, and after wrestling with it and not getting a good answer from the fount of Google knowledge, I finally just gave up and typed "unread" in search…

Yet more evidence that Pat Robertson is an evil old scumbag, yet still gullible people send him money to finance African "relief efforts" that only relieve Africa of its diamonds and gold.

We ended today with a boat trip out to Blake Island’s Tillicum Village for the afternoon salmon bake and cultural show, and by then I was taking photos with the big Canon, not my iPhone. But we did a lot of Touron stuff in the morning and yesterday too, including: Bought a glass thingy from The Glasshouse Studio. They’re shipping it so we don’t have to worry about lugging it. Lunch at the Pink Door after exploring the Public Market, which always tickles me. It’s fun introducing new people to it – once you find it again. Here’s Shel and…
