  • Back from Maui, only gained 3 lbs.

    It feels like more. A lot more. But then, maybe that’s just jet lag and the other 5 or so lbs. will be joining me in a day or 2, once the airline tracks them down.

    I drank beer EVERY DAY! That son-in-law of mine is such a bad influence but I do love him.…
