June 30, 2010 No comments yet

As I mentioned in part I of my “Play on Hockey and Nutrition Series: The Blackhawks’ Great D-Fender”, I credit a nutritious super D-Fender, Vitamin D, as being a possible contribution to the Chicago Blackhawk’s 2010 Stanley success. But let’s get back to MY favorite hockey team, The Washington Capitals. Do I blame the [...]

As one of my New Year’s resolutions, I am attempting to read a quote of inspiration from the Dalai Lama’s book The Path to Tranquility each day. Like all of my resolutions, this has become hit or miss and I’ve all ready fallen behind (this my second venture at this).

I would like to think that I exhibited a stellar amount of self control on my daily trip to the grocery store yesterday.
