Earth 11 is a world where the world is matriarchal in nature and the major superheroes are women. If I were in Ontario, I’d go to a beach near Picton for hangover recovery. Mutant Diet Phase 5 Day 28 I am an idiot. Here I am minding my own business at the company party this past Friday. And then unexpectedly I, and a fair few others, are being told the place is closing. I went…
Earth 9 has a woman Green Lantern that can raise the dead. Try Stratford Ontario for a change. Mutant Diet Phase 5 Day 26 I’m very happy to report that donuts have entered the dietary equation. Well, this is a planned cheat day which started around 3 PM yesterday. With concerts that have all my family members in them plus work social events, the decay of the diet/fitness process is unsurprising. Let’s see if I…
Earth 8 is a world that DC used to create a parallel Avengers universe. Do you see it? Niagara-on-the-Lake came to mind today. Mutant Diet Phase 5 Day 25 Today I’m going to talk about someone else’s journey as an illustration of the peculiar nature of third party perceptions of other’s appearance. There’s a fellow who works where I work but in a different office. I will call him Quintus. I see him once or…
I was looking for Earth 7, which apparently is a wasteland and I found this spooky image. Let’s go to Gravenhurst and hide from the news. Mutant Diet Phase 5 Day 24 OK. Today’s not going anywhere near according to plan. I did not plan for the shower head to break and spray water pretty much everywhere except on me. I could not find my building pass. I did not expect things to be going…
The heroes of Earth 6. I never heard of them either. The data is clean for Collingwood. Mutant Diet Phase 5 Day 23 I believe that dogs are bigger than cats. That’s about all I know today. From a diet/fitness perspective I know that coffee helps my short term awareness better than tea. I also know I’m supposed to see the personal trainer today and I want to feel whipped like a fondue at the…
Earth 5 has the Marvel Family, a more friendly universe. I just did some data clean up for Burlington Ontario. Mutant Diet Phase 5 Day 22 Yesterday was indeed the full on cheat day. I enjoyed it but want to be back on full on ultra-low carb today. I have all my supplies and I’m back to having tea … not that tea has anything to do with carbs. This is part of the no…
These are heroes from DC’s Earth 4. I wonder how far I can go? People in Toronto think North Bay is north. Try Thunder Bay. Mutant Diet Phase 5 Day 21 It’s odd. Yesterday I broke the diet, but really only in the morning. By dinner I discovered I was starving and had a big meal of meat and vegetables. Much later I was hungry again but when I pondered what I would like to…
Earth 3’s Crime Syndicate. All bad versions of superheroes. Time to check out Huntsville, a cottage country capital. Mutant Diet Phase 5 Day 20 So, a bit of a cheat arrived in advance of the cheat day. I woke with a nasty headache and was having a nightmare about helping a child who had been hit by a car. WTF? Coffee, scone, Tylenol and St. John’s Wort. Not necessarily in that order. I’m not going…
I’m looking at alternate reality comics. This is Earth 14. Some people think Bobcaygeon is unreal. Mutant Diet Phase 5 Day 19 The first of December is always a crazy day so if there are more errors than normal in this post, I apologize. I’m excited to have this year’s Christmas Story behind me. See Christmas with Hermes. I think this variant of the diet is working despite my use of chocolate almonds as a…
Download the story as a PDF here. This year’s story was inspired by my son Tim, who is 9. Earlier this year he asked me to help him write a comic book series. He’s doing the drawings. His ideas for his comic books are wonderfully huge. To help him, I offered to write a back story that would help create boundaries around his comic book universe. The ending is therefore a big cliff hanger. The…
