Get In Shape For The New Year.

After celebrating New Year's Eve, I realized that It was not my new year's eve. That fell on my birthday. Or, actually the eve of my birthday. That's when my new year started. Yours started on the eve of your birthday. While I'm at it I could point out that Christmas eve is Jesus' new year's eve. Or at least the date we celebrate it. How come we got so mixed up on this thing anyway. Oh, I know that it's the beginning of a new calender year, but to be truthful, I didn't like last year all that much and I'm not all that confident that I'll like the new year, so how come we celebrated it. I guess the answer is that we just look for any excuse to celebrate. That brings me to another problem.

When's the last time you saw an ad that told you to just eat less and exercise more to lose weight? Of course, you can't lose 250 lbs in 48 hours that way. To do that you have to buy their products and services. Here's an idea. Send me the money. I''ll pretend you really want to lose weight and keep the money.
