Congratulations, Mike, on making it to the home
stretch of that first big milestone. Turn on the tv
and imagine all those olympic crowds are cheering you
on. On second thought, leave the tv off, there's a
strong correlation between tv watching and snacking,
and an even stronger one with sitting on your tuckus
and burning 0 calories.

Welcome, Valerie. You're right to emphasize "way of
life" vs. diet. Marketese aside, what's the
difference? One's unpleasant and temporary, the other
is actually rather nice and permanent. Think of it as
"diet" as in "the short pronged cape antelope has a
herbivorous diet."

Sorry about that spilled soda, Kimi. A sign, maybe?
:-). Hope this week goes better for you. 

Reinhard
