BTW, my drug of choice these days is ibuprophen! I walk on a mountain ridge nearby, most every day, with Spot, my year old dalmation. Where I will walk five-seven miles, most days, he will run twenty, or more. But my few are tough on my 58 yr old frame. I just try to keep the machinery oiled and working! It helps to justify the steak and baked potatoes, with loads of sour cream and slabs of butter, washed down with a shiraz, cabernet, or merlot!

I took some friends to dinner last year at a place in VA. It's a five staar, and has prices accordingly. By the time we walked out, the bill for the five of us would have fed a small african country for several years. (We ate from a fixed price menu, and had three bottles of wine, and three glasses of good cognac. The bill came into four figures, rather much!) It was good, but it was a one of a kind thing for me. It's one of the things I can afford to walk away from. I'm a good cook, married to a good cook, and yet we like to eat out!!! That's an addiction I can live with! I'll just stay away from those places, and spend the difference on travel!

Argh.

You just waved a steak in front of a starving man.

I've cut my calories by anywhere from 700-1300 a day to lose weight. ;^)
