Kefir

Interesting day.

The research manager left early this morning for a bridge game while I was playing tennis.

The good news is that I had a morning largely to myself, but for the delivery of our new stove, which I thought I handled well, thanks in no small part to the professional installation team sent by Best Buy.

That was kind of like a birthday present. We patients sometimes feel like we are being held hostage by our caregivers and so a morning of freedom is good news.

The bad news? That is easy. It means that the research manager is free to go and buy whatever is the latest item on her list. When she was two hours late getting back, I knew something was up.

What was up was kefir. I will report on this item tomorrow after I try it out.

When I first heard about this, I thought of Kiefer Sutherland and there are parallels.

Kiefer is Canadian. I am Canadian.

Kiefer starred in the TV program "24" about protecting the president. The research manager works to protect me from myself 24/7.

Kiefer just released a country album called "Down in a Hole" - Enough said.

One of the songs in the album is "Calling out your name" about a painful separation in his younger years. I think if I had separated from some of my earlier eating habits, I would be better off.

So, kefir it is.
