How to Scuttle Your Weight Loss Program

I am certain several of the remaining participants have been secretly asking "How do I get free of the regimen?"

While moi has not been pondering such a weighty (pun fully intended) matter, I am quite certain others have.

Obtain a good case of double pneumonia.

Life don't much more simple than air going in, and air coming out.( Aside... isn't it interesting how a guy who lived long before electricity, cell phones, inter-net, blah,blah, blah bemoaned how complex life was?

 I am upright and able to take nourishment. And with deepest heart-felt thanks to my Lovely Bride, it has been very tasty, healthy, and substantative nourishment.  Once again, proving the truth of Proverbs 31:10  "An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels."

Today pneumonia... next week... the weight loss!!
