Fastnacht Day

 

Fastnachts.... you see that puddle between the donuts?  That's lard.  Liquified. Having seeped out of the donut itself.  

Imagine the Dunkin' Donuts guy.  He's sitting around saying, "Hey, I got these people addicted to coffee.  How can I get a few more bucks out of them?  Oh!  I know!  I'll deep fry balls of sugary dough, then coat them in icing and sprinkles.  Maybe even powdered sugar.  Perfect!"

Now imagine a Pennsylvania Dutch guy taking those donuts and soaking them in lard.

That's a fastnacht.  Happy Fat Tuesday.  

Playing with the kids

A little warm weather, an hour at the park with the kids. Those short people mean everything to me.

Acupuncture

During a demonstration at a medical lecture at the hospital today I volunteered for acupuncture. My chi is flowing now.

A run to the mall.

Finally, nice weather was predicted so I went for a run to the mall - York to Lancaster.  20 miler, nice easy pace.  Burned 2,800 calories and I'm starved.  This is mortgage guru Andy who came with me....doing business on the run.  Gotta love Blackberry.
