Robyn, thanks for the save!

My father just called up. He'd seen the Oprah show on Thursday, and there was this guy on the program, and gosh he was interested in taking a look at that fella's new book, "but you'll have to call Channel 5 to get the man's name."

"Dad," I said patiently, "I don't have to do any such thing. The guy's name was Bob Greene. You want me to swing through Borders' on the way to your house and pick you up a copy?"

"Now how'd you know that?!"

"I'm your genius kid, Dad." And I have some kick-ass online friends who keep me looking that way.

Hey everyone!

I'm starting to wonder if we need a new format here. The posts are getting a little too long and seem incongruous to what this should be -- which is an exchange of ideas. Should we find a forum? Like a real one with threads and all that?

Post your thoughts in the comments! How's everyone doing? I'm actually kind of glad to be back at work -- I find myself to be a MUCH healthier eating when I'm on a schedule!

All right - I've come here to make a confession. I gained two pounds in the last two weeks.

And you bet your butt, whatever size it is, I'm going to remove at least those two pounds by Disney. Because I'm not going to take that sausage bread and ravioli out for a thirteen-mile walk.. no matter how good they tasted.
