Hello fellow people of substance.

This has been the busiest summer and fall of my adult life. Without going into what it is like to be a high school technology coordinator/teacher, parent of a high schooler and primary schooler, celebrating 20 years of marriage and of course a weekend stagehand and roadie...you can imagine that eating well hasn't been a priority.

However, I'm aback at it for two weeks and have already dropped 8 lbs. Keep on keeping on and checking in your status.

This weekend I am going to the Upper Midwest Emmy Awards. My school has been nominated for an Emmy! Black tie affair, so I am wearing the MacLellan tank with an Argyle jacket and waistcoat. I'll post pictures of me holding the award, or at least me in the arms of some stunned local celebrities. At least the kilt fits :-)
