A regulation size Twix bar weighs 56.7g and has 280 calories.
It has more calories (280 to 260), but less total weight (56.7g to 60.4g) than a regulation size 3 Musketeers bar.
If both cost $0.55 (US), then which is the better deal? At a glance, it would appear that for raw power the Twix bar is the way to go. If on the other hand, you are looking for something to fill a hole in your digestive…
An attorney for the White House recently described the president’s powers granted him by the constitution and congress during a “time of war” as “awesome power.” The context of this statement was a discussion concerning the executive branches’ alleged right to detain “enemy combatants” during a time of war, including those combatants who are detained…
Oh lay that!
Richards shoots… he gets the rebound… he fires it behind Theodore… HE SCORES!!!
How many more games can the Lightning get out played in the playoffs and keep winning? Not that they’ve been out played every game – far from it. For now, I’m sure they’ll take it either way. For that matter, so will I.
Now if I can somehow get some sleep…
Publix (Supermarket) – Our nominee for husband of the quarter and everyone’s hero, yours truly, was shopping grocery style with the family. Cheryl, the wife and household fashion consultant, sent me on a mission to retrieve some facial tissue – greasy style. I came back with two boxes just as I was ordered. Ten minutes later Cheryl erupts with indignation: “you got brown…
We learned this morning that we will not have twins this fall. That’s the bad news. The good news is that one of the two is the picture of good health. I’m having a hard time assessing my feelings about this right now. I was standing beside Cheryl, holding her hand as we watched the ultrasound screen. I was immediately worried that I could only see one fetus, but I told myself that I…
With the authority vested in her by God, genetics, and a second x chromosome, Cheryl is rarely wrong. When disputes arise, I frequently do what many other men in my position do, I take my rightful place, admit to my failings, and subject myself to her authority. Things are just easier that way.
This doesn’t mean that I always have to like it, but since when does liking something have to do…
There is a warning on most step ladders which warn the average consumer that it is not wise to venture beyond the next to the last step at the top. Like most average consumers, I have routinely disregarded this warning.
Cheryl and I spent this weekend at home. It was a weekend that we were supposed to spend with friends in Naples. Cheryl said she wasn’t feeling well all week, so we decided…
Imagine a Friday afternoon. A young man is leaving his place of work on the last day of the work week. He is in a bit of a rush to get home because he is leaving an hour later than he would have liked. If he were honest, he would admit that he really wanted to put an end to the work day about eleven hours earlier – before the day really began. Anyway, he climbed onto the narrow saddle of his…
It’s strange. Many times I’ve told others, and others have told me, that you should listen to your body. If you’re hungry, eat. If you’re craving a certain kind of food, go find it. If you’re tired, sleep. Last night, and again this morning, I was extremely tired. You may have read the entry I made. It’s amazing how bad things can seem when you’re tired.
Let’s see… the wife is feeling worse?
Check.
The kid had a bad day at school?

Cancel out on an anticipated weekend getaway?

Up past my bedtime?

Wax sentimental about a great week prematurely?

Sometimes weeks are like that. You never can tell when it will all make a run for the crapper. Is it better to have had good days and left them behind, than to never…
