Tête-à-Tête-Tête

Hope everybody had a great Christmas and New Year.

I can only hope that 2008 will be as good to me as 2007 was.

Thanks to the inspiration of Jay G and Ricky I wound up losing 61.6 pounds in 2007. I ended the year at 271.4. I gained nothing over the holidays and it was not even that hard to stay even. Sure I didn’t lose anything but staying even was a major accomplishment in my mind. I am sure that is the first time this has ever happened in my life. Usually I am miserable at the end of the year with all kinds of resolutions to do better. This year I just resolve to do the best I can and let the chips fall where they may.

I hope to lose 40 pounds this year. The encouragement I get from you guys is very helpful. I still have quite a ways to go but I am closer now than I was at this time last year.

The Georgia Bulldogs destroyed Hawaii last night and I watched every minute even though it meant staying up until 1:00 AM. When the season started my best case scenerio had Georgia winning 9 games. Never would I have thought that they would win the Sugar Bowl with the young team that they had to work with. It turned out to be a wonderful season.

For the last 11 days I have been completely removed from world news and politics. For the last 11 days it has been as if I was on a deserted island enjoying family and football. Getting back into the swing of things is going to be tough.

But I will get back into the swing of things. It may take me a couple of weeks to get focused but I also know that before I know it the end of this year will be here.

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin, slippin, into the future.
