Forget that 35.7% of Americans are considered obese and if you add those that are considered overweight the percentage rises to 69.2%. This isn’t about that. Hell, I’m completely within the lower end of my acceptable BMI range and a California female doctor told me I was fat […]
We are now 11 days into the New Year. Can I sheepishly ask, how many New Years resolutions have you already cast aside? I made none. So, I am batting 100% in terms of resolutions kept. The Golden Globes are being broadcast tomorrow night and I am extremely […]
