Day 15 -- First "Senior Night" at Tim's

For those who are not familiar with Timothy's Bar and Grill, once a month on a Wednesday they host a Senior Night - no cover, prizes, and free pizza.  That's what I'll be doing this evening, and I imagine so, too, will a bunch of the senior class.

So I learned that I'll likely have to shave the 'stache before we start using gear in SCUBA class because the masks won't keep a tight seal.  It was the swim test today (I passed), and after we were able to play around with some snorkels.  I found one that fit pretty well and kept a decent seal over my mustache, but I'm thinking I might shave it prior to next class, which would be only a couple weeks premature.  I'll be starting part time tax prep at Brady Ware & Company in downtown Dayton mid February, so I'd have shaved it before I start.

TED
Maybe once every two weeks or so I like to watch a TED Talk on happiness.  There are many good ones out there (my favorite being Shawn Achor's, which I've shared in an earlier post).  The one I watched today is by David Steindl-Rast: Want to be happy? Be grateful.  Hope you enjoy that one.




Wikipedia
I've mentioned a few times now that I'm reading Joel Fuhrman's Eat for Health.  Last night I got to some pretty good stuff about macronutrients (fat, protein, carbs) and micronutrients (a bunch of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals).  It got me really excited about continuing a healthful diet packed with these micronutrients from plant sources.  Here is the Wikipedia page for Vitamins.  If it interests you, try to learn the chemical names of the B vitamins and the deficiency/overdose diseases associated with all the vitamins.
