Hello all,

I missed last Friday's post because I got busy. But, I'm back on schedule. The first thing to report is the 'restaurant.com' app and website. It's like groupon for restaurants. You pre-pay for a dinner for 50-60 percent off menu price. I did this for Abyssinia Ethiopian restaurant a few days back. I got $20 for $8. We haven't used it yet, but I can tell you from the dozen times I've been...it's a great place to eat. Check out the app and see what's available in your zip code.

It's been a week since I've been using the Wake-Up Light. It's cool and all...but I can't trust that it will actually wake me up. I still have my fitbit and phone alarms set at the same time to make sure I get up. I may have more to report next week.

We've been trying to incorporate more fish into our diet. We had a really awesome salmon this evening and Amy even made fried rice with it. Brown fried rice. It was equally as good as her normal white rice version. She prefers white rice but I didn't see any decrease in quality. Of course I really like brown rice. If you were me, which you are not, you could have the best fried rice anytime you wanted because you would be dating Amy. People are predisposed to certain things that they prepare better than anyone else on the planet to someone else. For me, it's Amy's flied lice.

So, David Bowie died today. Or last night, I'm not sure. All I know is that my social media feed this morning was full of Bowie stuff. Though I am not a huge fan of his music, it is a shame to see a person leave this planet so early for something so stupid. I wish he were around just so that he could continue being awesome to those who appreciated him.

I've been continually hitting my required 10K steps and way beating it. So far, Kathleen has been my biggest competitor. Amy, Nicole, and Angie are not even close; though I certainly appreciate their participation in the daily challenges! If you would like to get in on the fun, I am on fitbit at itcomagic.com.

That's all tonight. If you have any comments, questions, suggestions, or general feedback, please feel free to contact me in any number of ways. Also, if you like what you read here, please Like, Comment, and Share.
