In an interview someone asked me to tell them something about myself that no one knew. Well, most folks don't know that I wrote a humorous weekly newspaper column for fourteen years or that I wanted to be a race car driver at one time. Since it's impossible for me to tell you anything about Nascar except that the cars go very very fast, maybe I'd best stick with what I know a little tiny bit about...writing...which burns very little calories, almost no fat grams and hasn't even managed to keep my fingers skinny. I was looking at a magazine in the doctor's office last week and saw an article about folks who sit in front of a computer every day needing to exercise more and eat less. Well, duh! That's nothing new. I wrote about folks needing exercise a decade ago in one of those afore mentioned columns. Surprising enough it still rings true and it went like this...
