Tonight I made chicken and vegetable soup for dinner. Used a pressure cooker, for speed. Actually wanted to make an all-veggie soup, but my wife wanted to add some chicken we had in the freezer. No, I haven't yet had a chance to see "Food, Inc." the movie. But from all the reviews I've been reading, it sure sounds like a stomach-turner. Especially the segment on chicken-farming. Maybe I'll just wait till the movie comes out on DVD. That way, I will be able to fast-forward past the really unnerving parts of the movie.

Lovely mild day today. Went down to the repair shop to pick up my ancient Rainbow vacuum cleaner, still good after 37 years. The only things that it needed were a new cord, a good cleaning and lube, plus new motor-brushes, and now it runs perfectly again. The thing I really like about it is that the dust is collected in a water tank instead of a messy bag.

Have resumed my daily walks, and feel more energized as a result. Now, if I could just get rid of the pounds I took on over the past couple of weeks. Maybe skipping lunch might help.
