  I lamented to Dick, upon his return from Vancouver, that I have become addicted to blogging. Dick is both my supplier and my ennabler.

  Yes, yes, thank you, thank you very much. The Johnson Weight-Loss Challenge is over, and I won it with a loss of 15.8 lbs in the months between Christmas 2006 and Easter 2007. The two other women in the challenge (Nana Marian and Auntie Liz) both lost over 10 lbs, but as far as I [...]
