About a month ago I discovered the 5:2 diet — 5 days per week eating normally (following my LoseIt plan), and on any two non-consecutive days of my choosing I “fast.” Fasting in this case does not mean eating nothing. Because I’m a guy, I can eat 600 calories. (For women, it’s 500 calories.) After […]
In this reprise edition of “Tame Bear Radio,” The Bear relates a wintery tale celebrating the virtues of wool socks. And of a late-night winter walk along the river, which turned into a sorry tale of icy cold water, crackling ice, and the comforting solace of a warm fire and some wise reflection back at […]
Everything has a life — a beginning, a middle, and an end. Absolutely everything. An endless ebb and flow of energy in countless forms. Each one of us is born, we live, and then we die. Every animal and plant comes into being, lives, and dies. Everything has an arc of life that opens out […]

Well I finally quit procrastinating and got it done, so I can take this off my whiteboard. THE GOAL To unite bloggers (from all […]
We’re now just past the third-year mark since Tame Bear learned of Traffic Exchanges and has made them a part of his life, at varying times and degrees. So it is with great pleasure that I present my actual earnings so far this year (output from Quick Books For Mac) woo hoo. Relatively modest by […]
The Bear didn’t know about regional Burning Man events until last year, as a “virgin” burner in Black Rock City, 2011. Pleased to discover a local Great Lakes conclave, I attended the regional “Lakes of Fire” event this past weekend, and even volunteered on the “Leave No Trace” team, helping to clean up remnants of […]
