I hope my reader didn't suffer greatly. Since I've been gone a while, let me catch you up on what I've been doing.
I've decided to lose weight. Fortunately there are lots of ways to do this. My spot-reducing has mostly been limited to my left elbow, but I soon hope to also reduce my right ear lobe.
Anyone who has tried reducing their weight knows it can be stressful. I've always found that a new hat cheers me right up.
I am even beginning to wonder if a Zumba class might be in my future.
One of the hidden costs of weight loss is the cost of new clothing. I think I can live with that.
