Tonight was a\u00a0Sheepshead\u00a0night. \u00a0The cards ran my way all evening, evidence, Bill Schmidt said, “That the card gods have not died.” \u00a0I owe them a joss stick or two. \u00a0It was a good night for me. \u00a0And fun.<\/p>\n

Bill and I ate at the St. Clair Broiler before hand. \u00a0It’s a joint from the 1940’s and still has that 40’s feel. \u00a0A neighborhood place with neon flames on its sign and just plain nice people working there. \u00a0Our waitress was sweet, a gentle, caring vibration about her.<\/p>\n
We talked about life, about his transition to life without Regina’s physical presence, and he noted that, “We’re all always in transition.” \u00a0So true.<\/p>\n
Roy Wolf, in whose home we play, said, “I’m 78. \u00a0The median age for white men in America. \u00a0Half are younger, half are older.” \u00a0Amazing. \u00a0Heartening to this 65, soon to be 66 year old.<\/p>\n
On that front. \u00a0I had my brush with a blood glucose level of 112, in the above normal range for the first time. \u00a0Tom Davis, my doc, said I needed to watch my intake of sweets and starches. \u00a0I have. \u00a0I took it one step further and have begun counting carbs. \u00a0Not quite as seriously as a diabetic, but pretty seriously.<\/p>\n
Result: \u00a0blood glucose this morning of 101. \u00a0Very reinforcing. \u00a0I’ve lost a little weight, too. \u00a0Not much, but some.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
