Gladys, ‘member when NAPA was Dairy Queen?

Lawdie, Henry. I ‘member when it was trees.

I ‘member that, too. Mercy day, we’s gettin’ old.

S’okay, Henry. We’s gettin’ old together. That’s what counts.

Hubbymoose and I actually had this conversation – well, something like it – just this morning. I pared ours down to a trifextra 33.

My all too wide rear on the front page is what started it. Working the finish line of a race, I was only secondary in the picture, but that rear shot bothered me.

Five days later I walked into a gym and sat on an exercise bike for the first time in a long forever.

That was last August. Since that first tentative ride I’ve worked my way up to 45-60 minutes, adding treadmill time and lifting weights.

My weight? Yes, that number has decreased as well. The derriere will be a bit smaller on this year’s front page story.
