On a gorgeous warm, sunny Tuesday evening, Anne and I joined our son Kyle and daughter in law Diane at the Dodger-Angel game sitting in the outstanding seats they have in back of home plate.
As part of the high cost of having their outstanding seats, it includes having a wide variety of free food at the Dodger Stadium Club, which adjoins the costly seats. Kyle very thoughtfully had them provide veggie burgers for me, very tasty veggie burgers.
But the woman who arranged for and served those burgers provided just four bite size burgers which would have been fine except I had had a very light lunch. It was now 7 pm plus and I was hungry.
But I didn't request this woman bring more veggie burgers because I don't often have yogurt and I thought this would leave room for plenty of yogurt.
That was a mistake, because while I enjoyed three large helpings of the non-fat Dreyers yogurt, it didn't occur to me they would pack it with sweeteners and other ingredients I'm not used to.
In the wee hours of the morning when I got up to use the bathroom, I was a little dizzy and slightly unsure on my feet.
At first concerned this could be a stroke, I put myself through a test calling back names, dates and places just fine. I then tested myself multiple times on my feet, each time doing better but not perfect.
Then in remembering my afternoon and evening, I eventually targeted the yogurt.
As I surmised would happen, the next day as soon as I got back to my normal diet and got the yogurt out of my system, everything was fine. I'll avoid having those poor dietary circumstances happen again.
But in all, it was a wonderful night especially because I had quality time with Kyle and with Diane and my beautiful wife Anne. And as I always cheer for both teams, it was irrelevant to me which team won the game but I think it was the Dodgers.

In this Journal, I will attempt to strip away my protective veneer to view and communicate honestly what the truth is as I perceive it. My intent is to grow, for without an honest evaluation of the truth, how else can one fully absorb life's more difficult lessons and benefit by them. If I do this in secret, then I am still hiding behind a protective veneer, so it is being published online. If you find this Journal, you are welcome to read it and hopefully grow from it as well.
