I was talking to Brenda about weight recently - about how hers is creeping up and mine is creeping down. I ran across this article afterwards and showed it to her as a peace offering (man that skillet to the skull really hurts!) Thigh size has been connected to a predilection for heart disease. Larger thighs equals reduced risk. Not only is Oprah apparently immortal, so is Limbaugh. I'm hoping that they both simultaneously decide to become spokespeople and patrons of Slimfast soon. Didn't help Belushi much although that cocaine habit probably had something to do with it.

Thanksgiving Memories

Odds & Ends

Yesterday, Lauren and I went to Toby's Dinner Theatre for her birthday and saw Happy Days, the musical. I was never a big fan of the series but had seen enough of it to get the inside jokes and references to the old sitcom. A few of the groaners included not seeing Chuck for a few years now, the Fonz not being the same since he jumped the shark and Richie commenting on his usual ability to solve problems in just one-half hour.
