Women Food and God

A few weeks ago my friend Tracey sent me the book Women Food and God, by Geneen Roth. It's a self-help book. If you know Tracey, you probably know that she LOVES self-help books. Right Tabner?

Even though I'm not a woman, and I don't believe in the Judeo-Christian conception of a father god sitting on a cloud up in the sky, I do like FOOD. One out of three ain't bad. So I read the book.

All joking aside, I've had my fair share of struggles with food. I haven't shared this with a lot of people, and my food issues tend to fly under the radar because on the surface I seem like a pretty healthy guy - right? However, I'm not always so healthy. In fact, my tendency to go on eating binges got so bad in college that I sought counseling. Things have slowly but surely improved since that time, but I'm still not at peace with eating.

So, if you're someone whose ever struggled in your relationship to food - which I think is most of us - I suggest you read this book. It's good. It gave me some new perspective and ideas, and it was an easy read. I'll even send you my copy if you ask nicely.

Ok, let's talk about less serious things...

I found this rubber ducky in the park today . Is it a doctor? Is it attending a gala? I don't understand it, but I sure do like it.

I finished building my new road racing bike today, and I took it for a little spin around Yamhill County. Name suggestions welcome and encouraged.
