Because I’m spending the weekend in lovely Aiken, South Carolina throwing darts. A regional qualifier today at the VFW. A blind draw tourney tonight in Augusta, GA (just across the Savannah river from Aiken), and then back to the VFW for the ASS (Aiken Singles Series) dart league on Sunday.
Scott Johnson from the PowerLine blog offers up his experience following the Taubes low carb/high fat diet.
Unlike Mr. Johnson, I’m still craving the sweets. It is almost painful to walk sadly past the ice cream, pies, cakes and cookies at my neighborhood Publix supermarket. I’m resisting the urge, but not liking the self-denial. Tonight I had two small bites of my granddaughter’s birthday cake. It’s practically unAmerican I tell ya.
On a lighter note, Johnson links to this clip from the Woody Allen classic film Sleeper. I wish, I wish, I wish!
Update: Geez, even Barney Fife knew about carbohydrates in 1964! No wonder he was so frickin’ skinny.
