Happy to be Here For the Ride

Twitter Icon 1A thought crossed my mind today.  A thought that has somehow never consciously crossed it before. “What would have happened if my Parents had decided to only have one kid?”  Well, the simple answer was that I wouldn’t be here to worry about those consequences.

However, upon more thought….I took it further.  What if my Grandparents never had children?  Then it wouldn’t have mattered if my Parents had two children or not.

Yeah, strange thoughts indeed.  But that train of thought did take me to a happy positive place.  It made me stop and think about how awesome it is to be right here, right now.

I guess it all boils down to the fact that we are all pretty darn lucky to be alive.  “Give thanks”….like they say.  All it would have taken is one alternative decision by any one of our ancestors and this collection of people around us would have been totally different……or possibly nonexistent.

Kind of puts life in a whole new perspective when you think of things that way doesn’t it?  It is a great day to be here, and I’m glad you are along with me for the ride.  Enjoy.

Enjoy Your Ride

    We are sure glad to have two wonderful children that we have enjoyed all these years. It is also great to see you with two sons that will carry the name on into the future.
    We will stay around and go a long for the ride for as long as God is willing.

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
