The Dutch came in second.   I am sad the World Cup is over but glad that my brief affair with the Oranjemen is over.  Now I can go back to hating them.  Iniesta had a good game and I am glad he got the goal.

I am in Austin. Bootcamp has started.

One of the Bootcampers from the previous year has lost 30 pounds in the last few months following my dieting advice.   No exercise, he just eliminated sugars and starches.  That's it. "It was so easy" he said. The total pounds lost this year by following simple evelutionary principles is encouraging.  That a freind of this colleague remarked to him, "your cholesteral is probably though the roof", reminds me of how much work still needs to be done.

Tara's wedding was perfect. A good Catholic wedding,  and a beautiful and fun reception. Lots of open bars.  She looked great.  The more I think about it, the more I love her dress.

Saw Predators in Austin at the draft house. It was almost as good as anything like that could be.   I enjoyed it.

I was at BarChef in Toronto and was very impressed. While there I read an issue of imbibe, and came across this:

2 oz sweet vermouth

1oz fernet branca

2 dashes simple syrup

1 dash absinth

Stirred.

Yum.

The Crossfit Games start this week. CFATL4EVA!
