I’ve heard testimonials about the joys of working out and I must admit that yes, there are huge benefits to exercising in a gym — but joy? Begrudgingly I train regularly because I know it’s healthy, but I’ve run miles and never ever had a runner’s high; I really don’t like to sweat; I begrudge the hour it takes to work out; and I’d prefer to do almost anything else.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) — and yes, it’s saving not savings — officially begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November when we turn our clocks back at 2:00 a.m. local time to read 1:00 a.m. Most of us learned the phrase, “spring forward, fall back” to remind us of which way to adjust the clocks. Changing watches and clocks is a small chore. Changing our own internal clocks is trickier.

Cauliflower, an old staple, has just had a new flowering and is the hip vegetable restaurants are featuring these days. Baked, fried, riced and diced, cauliflower is on many menus and is touted as the new healthy food to eat.

Quotations are among my favorite things to collect and share. The more truthful they are the more inspiring they seem. I’m also intrigued by who said what, and the connection between what we know about the author and the point of view the quote presents. For example, are philosophers, spiritual leaders, and Nobel prizewinners bothered by the same issues as comedians, prime ministers, and athletes? And are their interests the same as ours? Join me in this exploration.
