Diversions

::Assisted Loving by Bob Morris. Hilarious account of a an 80-year-old man's dating escapades as narrated by his son. Has equipped me with sound advice for my mother as she navigates "courting" for the first time (I think...) since my dad's death. Top tip about elderly widowers: "They're not just looking for love, they're looking for lunch."
::Acai. Brazilian fruit super high in anti-oxidants. Sumner Redstone swears its the key to his longevity (and he's, like, 150 or something.) Actually he's a fan of MonaVie - which at $40 a bottle is clearly not the cheapest guarantee of eternal life (but what does he care.) Available only through a direct sales force (a la Avon), my friend Sarah and I are testing this out. You'll know if it works if you're still around to hang out with us when we turn 100.
::Bacon Egg Bolo by Grand Central Bakery. I suddenly fancied one this morning after a bit of a hike with Annie the dog. Made welcome change to the nursery food I've been eating for the last couple of days. Real bacon with real egg plus tasty salsa over fresh bolo roll made by someone other than me.

In general am still feeling wiped out but my head doesn't feel like its about to fall off. Hopefully this means I'm emerging from the fog of cycle one.
