DISQUS

Black is not an acceptable business suit color in the US. Dark or charcoal gray, yes. But a black business suit is reserved for undertakers.

Thanks to Google, the mystery won't be that hard to unravel.

If I ever get serious about blogging, I'll *never* have the guts to have kids.

Holy cow! You used a picture by Comp Sci legend Ed Yourdon.

I'm guessing that was totally random. Which is incredibly cool!

Crossed the country by Greyhound during one of my first vacations, 25 years ago.

Good article. Here are some factoids that should make vegetarians out of everyone:

1. Heart disease is by far the #1 cause of death in America

2. For those with a cholesterol of < 150, the rate of death from heart disease is near zero (i.e. not a single one observed in the long-running Framingham study).

3. An all-vegetarian where only 10% or less of calories are from fat will bring your cholesterol below 150, if you also eliminate all butterfat (i.e. choose skim or non-fat dairy products only), refined oils, and any other food rich in saturated fat.

So, basically, if you want an extra decade or so of extra life, just go low-fat vegetarian.

OK, kudos for promoting the mentally healthy attitude of accepting yourself.

Unfortunately, scientific evidence shows that obese people are much more vulnerable to cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

It's one thing to like yourself. It's another thing to not take care of yourself. Fortunately, the two aren't mutually incompatible.
