    Dear Self,
    The next time the silly notion strikes you to eat an entire pomegranite. Don't. Put it down, and step back. Remember the brambleberries in Scotland? It's a lot like that. Just step away from the pomegranite. Tummy will thank you.

    Find something else to do with the lovely ruby red berry fruit thing.

    Find a camera and take a close-up of it!

    Then give it away to a kid who's never eaten a pomegranate before.

    Alton Brown says pomegranate seeds will keep in a Ziploc bag for a couple of weeks. If he says it it must be true.

    Dear self,

    Three things...
    1. Potato chips do not a healthy breakfast make.
    2. You're 33. You really should know by now how to tell when someone is flirting with you.
    3. Congrats on getting your Bulgarian split squats back. So what if it's just at bodyweight for now (besides, your body weight is nothing to sneeze at), a year ago you couldn't even walk up or down stairs without help because of that knee. And six months ago, you couldn't do single leg movement exercises without practically falling over from the pain and instability. You can really start working on not overcompensating for strength with the other leg now. Good job.

    Love always,
    Dex

    brain

    Dear Brain,

    It's time to start working hard again. I know we've slacked off with all the easy peasy jobs but I don't think the bosses noticed

    Brain, I have treated you nicely with all the bike rides, swims, books etc. & would appreciate you working hard with me when the first semester starts in Feb.

    Thanks
