![]() ![]() ![]() Long story short, these authors laid out the true drivers of obesity and weight gain - sugar and simple (refined) carbohydrates. (Lustig is a pediatric endocrinologist who treats morbidly obese children, and Taubes is a science journalist). His first book, The Obesity Code, led me to Robert Lustig's Fat Chance, and Gary Taubes' excellent book, The Case Against Sugar. I was working out and doing what the "experts" said you should do, but nothing was working on the weight. When my General Practitioner gave me a stern talking to and wanted to put me on a bunch of meds, I knew it was time to make a change. I was depressed, overweight, and in general not a happy camper. In 2015 into 2016, standing on the smoldering ruins of my 23-year marriage, I took a hard look at my life and found some things that I needed to change. Divorce and other major life changes make you re-examine many things in life. ![]()

Mortgage rates, which are already more than double where they were a year ago, will also keep rising. What’s it all mean for us regular people? Sorry to say, but the “pain” the Fed chief keeps warning about is mostly pain for lower and middle class people, who are more likely to be laid off, see their hours or wages cut, and have trouble paying credit card debt as rates go up. ![]() ![]()

Recuperating from her injuries, a mystified Anna returns to Manhattan. While her mammy plays nursemaid (just like all of her favorite nurses on her soaps), and her sister Helen sits in wet hedges doing her private investigator work for Lucky Star PI, Anna tries to get better and keeps wondering why Aidan won't return her phone calls or e-mails.

(This impression was furthered when I noticed that Nigel Hawthorne played the character during the play’s first run: Hawthorne is most famous to the British public for his role in the BBC sitcom Yes Minister.) The most notable characteristic of sitcom characters is that they never develop – if they did the basic situation that is necessary for the comedy would be destroyed. At first the play seems as though it is going to satirise the smugness of the character, but after a while you realise that Owen is getting the best lines: he is one of those loveably grumpy characters that inhabit sitcoms. He is cynical and negative, putting down his inexperienced fellow journalist Mara who is on the same mission for a rival newspaper Owen reminds me of the privileged graduates returning to their Oxford college for a reunion in Frayn’s previous play Donkey’s Years. I think it is to do with Owen, the journalist writing a story on Cuba. If they were novels I would have given up long ago, but a play only takes a couple of hours or so to read – so I carry on reading Michael Frayn because there are a lot in the town library.

I'll be honest, I stopped reading Clancy after "Rainbow Six", which was a lot of right-wing garbage about eco-terrorists who want to release a poisonous gas at the Olympics because they were pissed off people weren't recycling aluminum cans.
