Daily weight from October 1, 2011.

Yesterday was mostly very good eating... until I got home after a late jam, and ended up downing quite a few calories at 1:30am. The result? A little weight gain in this morning's weigh-in.

Today is a better day, as I head into a 3-day weekend. And tomorrow? Well, that's cheat day! Oh, baby!

Daily Comment

Heading into the Columbus Day weekend, I am thinking about what I knew about ol' Chris growing up, and what I have learned of more recently. Like many people of historic importance, the truth we know seems to be less than true, or, at best, incomplete. The 'truth' we were taught seems to be wholly made up or, at best, distorted. 


The story we were taught is one-sided and wholly Eurocentric; you get a very different view if looked at from the viewpoint of the indigenous peoples he met (and subjugated).


It is possible to view Columbus as a hero or a villain.
