Not the most flattering photo. But very fun to be able to show that my favorite brown jeans are clearly swimming on me.Live Well

Today is the holiday designed to honor the war dead of the Civil War. Currently, it is a holiday to honor any veteran who gave her or his life in service of the country.

I got to choose the hotel, so I've chosen one with excellent workout facilities, and good access to walking paths. That takes care of the moving part of my health requirements.
