Car issues
My 1995 Saturn SL1 with about 130,000 miles is starting to have issues when it idles at long stop lights. The RPMs fall to about 800 fairly steadily. However, every once and a while it will drop just below. The engine gives a little shake. Well, more than usual. If it falls below 800 RPMs for more than a few seconds the Check Engine light comes one.
Long Distance
I ended up changing long distance plans this weekend. When your current provider notifies you of two rate increases in one weekend its time to change. The $2.50 increase that they had imposed is equal to the minimum on my new plan.

Macaroni and Cheese
For lunch today I ate the equivalent of 2 ½ servings of Stouffer's Mac and Cheese. MB gave it to me for lunch thinking it was a single serving. It had over 800 calories. It was good but probably more than I needed.
