Today’s video is about spiciness. It’s pretty good, and I learned something about how they measure heat in food. Enjoy this one, especially if you are a spicy eater like me!

Until next time…

Here’s another fun video that will add to your “Trivia Pursuit” knowledge. I like learning about these little things that I didn’t know. It makes sense, but you’ll have to watch the video to see how they actually “print” fish. Very interesting!

Have a great Tuesday!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk Tuesday – When Will This End?

Well, it happened. As quickly as my gym opened–it closed. I guess they were optimistic about a court case in Michigan, filed by gym owners everywhere seeking to open in light of everything else opening. Oops. They lost the case and now have to close again.

I don’t know about you, but I am very frustrated with the lockdown, now that it appears there is a double-standard. Those of us that want to workout, go to work, get back to some semblance of living normally can’t, while knuckleheads across the country loot, burn, and deface. Protests in the U.S. have violated social distancing and number in the thousands of participants.

But I will digress. I can’t control what other people do, even my government, unless it’s at the ballot box. So, I’ll revert to my philosophy of controlling me and letting the rest be what it may.

That said, my workouts will now be home again, using exercise bands.

I hope you enjoy today’s Ted Talk, that explains when a pandemic ends.

Enjoy!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk Tuesday – Early Birds and Night Owls

early birds, night owls, sleep patterns, Ted Talk, TedEd, Tuesday

Being a night owl has enormous advantages to the work I do. I write, I read, I code, and I research. It’s best for me to do these things when I can’t sleep (between 12 am and 3 am), because the others in the home are in bed. No interruptions, it’s very quiet, and again, no interruptions.

I enjoy watching videos and reading papers about sleep patterns and here is one that may explain why this time works for me (I’m definitely a night owl) and why my schedule may not work for someone who is genetically disposed to being an early bird. I hope you enjoy the short video below. It’s pretty informative.

Have a great Tuesday!

Until next time…

I’m mixing it up this week and providing a TED talk from Robert Waldinger, who talks about insights he learned from the longest study on happiness ever conducted. The results are both simple and surprising simultaneously. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. I hope all of you are having a great Tuesday!

Until next time…
