Dick’s Weight Loss Plan
First, you have to kiss me on the mouth so you catch whatever hell-spawn virus I caught. Then you lay in bed for 24-48 hours alternately sweating and shivering, and not eating. Occasionally, you get out of bed for what I like to call the accelerated weight loss plan. I’m four pounds lighter than I was Tuesday and that’s about the only good thing I can say about this week. (Pounds = weight, not money.)
Tomorrow, I’m off on a week-long vacation. Don’t expect to hear from me until a week from Monday. I may try to bust off a post or two while I’m vacationing, though. For now, back to bed.
P.S. I’m heading to Phoenix/Tucson on my vacation. Yesterday in one of my NyQuil induced dazes I was listening to a show about killer bees. Granted, I was dozing in and out, but it seemed like every swarm story was in Tucson. I did pick up one tip from the show: If you see a hive, don’t try to remove it yourself. Uh, okay.
Dick,
My condolences - I managed to survive the same regimen just about a week ago. Definitely lighter now, or is that just my head?
There is nothing quite like sickness to take the weight off. Three years ago my liver went on the fritz and I lost 35 pounds in six weeks (including eight percent of muscle mass. 205 - 170). Effective but not recommended.
I had the same kind of bug over here and lost a few kilos. Take care Dick, get well soon!

That could get you killed in the states...
Get well Dick...
"That could get you killed in the states…"
Never thought of it that way, must be my "pure" upbringing
