Black Coffee Blues: March 2006
http://blackcoffeeblues.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
You'll never have problems sleeping again. Wednesday, March 15, 2006. In discussion with a friend recently, the topic of hobbies came up. The conversation was on how depressing a prospect it is that once a person has set up a nice life for himself (house, car, young family etc.) he/she usually spends the next 25 years working 40-50 hours a week at a job he wouldn't be doing if he didn't have to pay the mortgage and car payments and buy diapers. I say yes it is. Be doing". If it seems difficult, then ...

Black Coffee Blues: Cost of poor diet more than just grocery bill
http://blackcoffeeblues.blogspot.com/2008/01/cost-of-poor-diet-more-than-just.html
You'll never have problems sleeping again. Thursday, January 17, 2008. Cost of poor diet more than just grocery bill. I was shocked yesterday when I came across the cost of type 2 diabetes in the US each year: $132 billion! In my opinion, the dramatic rise in type 2 diabetes over the last decade or so is very much attributable to changes in our choices in food, activity and lifestyle. This got me thinking: how much of our medical costs overall are self-inflicted? That would be about $750 per person, and ...

Black Coffee Blues: Blame somebody else
http://blackcoffeeblues.blogspot.com/2006/11/blame-somebody-else.html
You'll never have problems sleeping again. Thursday, November 16, 2006. Listening to CBC radio's Quirks and Quarks show the other day, Steven Heine of UBC's social psychology dept was speaking about a recently published study of his investigating whether there truly is a sex difference between male's and female's math abilities. This result doesn't rule out the idea that there is some sex difference in math performance, but it clearly indicates at least that there is a social component as well. On math t...

Black Coffee Blues: Tour de Irrele-France
http://blackcoffeeblues.blogspot.com/2008/02/tour-de-irrele-france.html
You'll never have problems sleeping again. Wednesday, February 13, 2008. The big headline today is that the ASO (the company that owns the Le Tour) has decided not to extend an invitation to theo 2008 tour to team Astana. In my opinion, this is just one more punchline in the comedy of errors that the sport of cycling has become. For all these riders to be absent from all ASO events (most notably the Tour) and the Giro d'Italia will call the legitimacy of the winner of all those races into question. Nobod...

Black Coffee Blues: September 2004
http://blackcoffeeblues.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html
You'll never have problems sleeping again. Monday, September 27, 2004. Canada to flex military muscle. For a long while I was perfectly happy with Canada's virtually demilitarized state, but recently I've seen the need for competent military strength become more apparant. Now, I'm fully in support of efforts to significantly increase Canada's military strength, so that we'll never have to deal with a Darfur. Or some other such situation here at home. Posted by Cameron Smith at 2:39 PM. I'm not sure if th...

Black Coffee Blues: November 2005
http://blackcoffeeblues.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
You'll never have problems sleeping again. Saturday, November 26, 2005. Here's a little idea of what a great state your body and mind might be in if all the food sold to you wasn't pumped full of sugar:. Within the month her symptoms of PCOS had vanished. I believe that much of our health focus is misguided, and I hope over the next several years we're able to see more research into the benefits that proper exercise and nutrition can provide.
