Happy New Year to '83

Like most resolutions at this time of year, I had hoped this post would have been flashier, more dramatic...MEMORABLE.

Alas, this post is one of those that has to sink in, and is slow to take hold and even then usually at some personal low point.  Take my dinner guest of a few days ago, Ben Davis.  Two years ago he weighed 350 lbs, then his grandma asked him if he was happy - he wasn't so he did something about it...he ran...and ran.  It's a good story and Ben has chronicled it at bendoeslife.com. He's a good guy too.


So now I'm running the treadmill a few times a week.  I'm happy, but still fat.  Here's hoping you reach your milestones in 2012.  Just take it one step at a time...
