My weight hasn’t changed for years. I started getting a little heavy recently and got as high as 180 pounds. We cut back on food a little bit and now I’m back in the low 170s again. So imagine my surprise when I tried on some old pants I haven’t worn in several years and the waist didn’t fit at all. Not even close! The length still works, and that’s a relief, I can still say I’m 5’ 9”, but not so with the waistband. Same weight. Different waist. Only one explanation I can think of. Damn that gravity anyway!
Our daughter inspired us
…to get flu shots. Her family came down with the flu. She got a midnight phone call from two floors below. Tony, sleeping in the basement, woke up sick, couldn’t get out of bed, and needed help cleaning up. That was quite the adventure, and Becky told the story well, making it tragic and funny at the same time. It finally ended with a middle of the night rug shampoo. That was bad enough, but Becky, having gathered momentum, proceed to tell an even worse story, about how Brian woke up sick in the middle of the night and it was so awful the dog, having been woken up out of a sound sleep, took one look at the floor next to Brian and threw up all over the bed. Another long night. Entertaining as Becky’s stories were, they were all the incentive we needed to go out and get our flu shots the next morning.
A million miles
A long time ago, Judy and I decided to travel together, wherever those travels took us. We got to thinking about that just the other day and counted up our miles as best we could. That road together has covered way more than a million miles. We’re working on our second million!

Broncos
That was a tough game. Both teams had their chances. Double overtime. Oh well; what can you do. Every team but one is going to lose. The Niners are still in it. Go Niners, Hawks, Texans!
