Apparently, after years of good health in spite of obesity, I have developed high blood pressure. Boo! Of course, my doctor recommended that I lose 30 pounds, but also that I concentrate on a low-sodium diet. I protested. "I don't eat a lot of sodium! I don't add salt to anything but popcorn, because I don't really like the taste." For some reason, my doctor didn't laugh at me; she just

Zazzle is running a graduation promotion from now through May 25. You don't have to buy grad-themed stuff to use the coupon; it applies to everything except skateboards and photo sculptures. Just use the code GRADSHIPFREE if you buy at least $45 worth of stuff. Sadly, it's only good for U.S. addresses.

I live in a fairly nice climate, so there are plenty of wild birds around even though it's a suburban area. There is a river within a mile or two of my houses, and we get geese, common egrets (they're shaped just like my ibis design, but they are solid white and don't have the head plumes), ducks, and many, many more. Today I was surprised to see the stocky, scruffy form of a great blue heron

Last year I put a few of my graphic designs on CafePress. I thought they were pretty cool, and I guess a few people agreed with me because I did manage to sell a few t-shirts. That part was fun. I'm not exactly a prolific artist, but I'll come out with something new once in a while that I think would look good on a shirt or coffee mug, so now I have over a dozen designs that I'm peddling. (
