I appreciate it, gents...its a touchy subject for me.  In any case, I'm trying something new out, keep you knights posted.

Truly I empathize with you Sir William! Most of us are embroiled in this ‘battle of the bulge’ for which becomes more difficult to contest the older we get with little hope of ever truly vanquishing our foe of fat! In truth the best we can aspire to is a long delaying action!  ;)

Yeah, tell me about it. I never thought it would happen to me, back when I weighed 60 pounds less. But we all have to fight it, it seems.

The trick is not to fight it...starve it. :)
