TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Legendary Singer Meat Loaf’s Interesting Connecticut Connection

You’ve probably heard the news by now iconic singer and actor Meat Loaf passed away this morning at the age of 74. You know his songs Paradise by the Dashboard light and I’d Do Anything For Love… He also acted in Fight Club as the character “Bob” and in Rocky Horror Picture Show. What you might not know is that he also had some deep roots here in Connecticut.

He lived in Redding, CT from 1989 and 1998. His daughter went to elementary school school in Stamford. He spent some of his time while living here coaching softball. This is really cool. He actually drafted the first girl to The Stamford Little League team where he was known as “Coach Meat”.

RIP, Coach Meat. We will miss you here in CT.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do apples give you energy?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do apples give you energy?

If you’re feeling tired in the morning or afternoon you’ve probably heard people tell you to eat an apple instead of going for the coffee. But why?

After all, apples contain no caffeine, but what they do have is about 13 grams of natural sugar. Those sugars create a similar effect to caffeine. The reason is because the vitamins from the apple are releases slowly as you eat it all through your body, which makes you feel more awake. The best part is that you don’t get the crash, mood swings, or anxiety jitters that caffeine causes.

So if you’re dragging today… now you know why to grab an apple!
