Is my glow visible from outerspace?

Am basking in the self-righteous glow of a brisk 45-minute walk through my neighborhood. Hah! Take THAT fat! As much as I love the ease of the colon cleanse, I realize that I need to eat and exercise, etc. if I'm going to beat the mid-life spread. Fortunately, I'm fairly competetive ;-) and cannot let the fat win. Especially now that I've told the whole world that I'm trying to kill it.

The walk revealed two new issues for me: (1) my pricey MBTs that are supposed to magically reshape my legs will not work if they're going to give me blisters - BAD shoes, BAD; (2) I might need to update my musical taste -- it's hard to feel really youthful and modern with Neil Diamond, Hootey (or is it Hootie?), and Aerosmith piped into my brain. I love my music -- that's why it's mine, but I might need an injection of something more recent. Suggestions welcome.

I feel SO good! The only immediate problem is that's translating into a desire for food and a cocktail. Guess I'll make some more tea.

  1. We THOUGHT it was unnaturally bright here in Western Oregon. Perhaps the aurora borealis, but more likely your amazing glow!

    We had delicious "french fries" tonight: covered in seasoning, cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives... yeah, pretty much a "baked potato and fixin's" in disguise.

    I may have to borrow that colon cleanse...
