I am sending this to Michelle's old friends and people most important to her. She died due to an infection in her lungs which could not be controlled. I hope you will all remember her for the love she shared with the bariatric community. It is our intention to continue her mission at Vitalady. Don C * * * * *

Wish I was the one with a loss this week, but I've got nothing. Saturday night out must have done me in.

Still under the lingering effects of the "man flu". Managed to make it to work all week though. Was really trying to avoid using sick time since already have several days off lined up as doctor days. Time for my annual maintenance visits between now and March.
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Same here. Not much to say :-)
Good week to all
Missed last week because I was traveling for work. I flew into NY early last Sunday and walked around Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History. The North American animals section in the museum was cool - Elk, Moose, mountain lions, bears. All I ever see around the suburbs is skunk and raccoons.
