Nope. You're dating me. This photo looks like before my time? Surprise me...


As for the '90s band era, that was definitely the 'grunge band' decade! Doug was as conflicted and shared the same fate Kurt Cobain did. Loved Fastball, Toad, the Wet Sprockets, STP, Creed, Counting Crows, et al...


Did you know Counting Crow's Adam Duritz have a very impressive celebrity 'conquest' in his resume? Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Winona Ryder just to name a very few...


BTW maxx...I finally saw the Doobie Brothers LIVE after all those years hearing their classic songs on the radio and never seeing them perform. They were without Michael McDonald (What a Fool Believes) though, but at least heard 'Listen to the Music' and 'Black Water' live! That was awesome.

Don't remember 1969? Our friend Lorenzo is in the photo. I'll let you guess who. Bedtime for me.

Bert looked like he was already dead the last time I saw him on a 'talk show' or some such.

I don't know that. He's 82. I couldn't imagine any role fitting an 82 y.o.

Nah. I seriously doubt she'd take the role as I'm sure she'll agree she'll look odd sporting a Reynolds' moustache.

Today I am going try and make cauliflower rice. Then make it into chicken fried rice, Asian style. I'll add some flaxseed oil in the last minute of cooking. Time to start marinating the chicken.



Did it but I used some baby shrimp I had in the fridge. Tasted pretty good. With rice substituted with cauliflower it is low in calories and carbohydrates. 





Day 20 on my diet and about to go to sleep. Only 836 calories today. I have been getting along nicely on less that 1100 calories a day.


Today I didn't go to the store. I was out of mineral water that I usually drink so I decided to make up some iced green tea. I made up my super drink concoction in a pitcher of green tea, lemon slices, half a cup of raspberry juice and pulp I had left over in the refrigerator and two small scoops of BCAA (Branch Chain Amino Acids) sports drink powder I had on hand. Tasted pretty good! Actually really good. Full of antioxidants and things that are good for you.

This a photo I posted before of my barber shop. That is not me going up the stairs.





Here is Boris the Barber.  I took this 3 days ago.





Boris doesn't speak any English and I speak only a little Georgia and Russian. We manage with hand signs and gestures. He gives me great haircut for 6 Lari. I seem to remember he charged me 8 Lari before. I must be getting a discount because he knows I am a steady customer and that I tip well. Anyways the haircut set me back $2.40. I tipped Boris 2 Lari or 80 cents. When I used Menu.ge the delivery people were overwhelmed with a 2 Lari tip. One of them called me on the phone about not doing business with them any more. It was a woman. I told her I had moved to Batumi. I swear to God she sounded like she was about to cry. I never spent but a few fleeting seconds with any of the delivery girls. The reaction I got was that of a woman who had a secret crush on a guy and finds out he has moved away. It was really, really strange. Anyways without prompting Boris told me I had lost weight from the last time he saw me. That made me pleased.

Because of my intermitted fasting routine I never eat before 12 noon. So no breakfast just coffee with oat milk I make up, or Green tea. I got a batch of oats soaking in a pan of water in the refrigerator ready to go through my blender in the morning and then strained through an old but clean washed shirt I have. When I see you I'll treat you with some.

Georgians tend to be hairy.


Here is a scull of a Georgian found just south of Tbilisi. It is 1.8 million years old.





Note: His teeth are in better condition than mine.

The diet is going great! Blood glucose levels are down to normal. Losing weight like a maniac. Tomorrow is day 32. All kinds of energy. I'm in a really good mood about how things are going.


OK I went into the store and seen this in the health food section. I think it is some sort of flour. Possibly a low carb flour similar what is on American shelves for the Dr. Atkins folks. I can't read Russian so is there anyone here that can tell what it is and its stats on carbs and calories? How do I prepare it?
























And ML, please don't tell me it is powder you sprinkle around the foundation to prevent ants from getting into your house. I know your tricks  ;D

I figured it is not low carb with Google translate. The 72r means 72 grams of carbohydrates in 100 grams of mixture. What I need is coconut flour.

It's not Russian it's Kazakh, you're correct 72g of carbs and 336 calories per 100g.

I have never been known to do anything like that.

- - - - -

But on a serious note:  If you can, try the No sugar, No flour diets.

Instead of any type of flour (wheat, oat, corn, etc.) go with Arrow Root powder.

Best price I have found is $8.89 for 5 pounds at webstaurantstore.
