Long time - No blog

I have to apologize to my viewing public for my long gap between posts. The first reason is laziness combined with embarrassment for the delay. The second is unfaithfulness - I opened a FACEBOOK account (as did Lila) last week. In early June I committed to a portion-control lifestyle change. I was tired of living with all of the consequences of my obesity and I have committed myself to a 20 year portion control plan. The plan is simple - a "Rule of One". It consists of one meal a day of one serving. I must eat juice, vegetable, or fruit for the other two meals. Carbohydrates are to be avoided whenever possible. The above chart tells the past and hopefully future story over the next two years (to be followed by 18 more years). At eighty, if the spirit so moves me I can then resume my previous gluttony.

Well I will start maintaining better contact with my family using FB (as we "FACEBOOK-ites" call it).

That is all for today.

CONGRATULATIONS, MARK!

Here are two very proud parents with our fourth son Mark, and our last high school graduate. Lila had family and friends to the house in the afternoon where we all feasted to Mark's success. All were particularly pleased, given the difficulty and labor involved in this achievement.

AND ... LAST BUT NOT LEAST ...

Here is a shot of photogenic little KAYLEE! (Applause, please.)

Here is a link to Lila's new blog location.
