Maybe. I'm right at the boundary of technically overweight,
have been for a long time. I lost a few in the last couple
years, but they moved the bar. Used to be a BMI of 25, and
according to my brother, who worries about these things, it
is now 24.

I always hitch my pants up with my left hand, which otherwise
is useless except when I'm sitting down playing a musical
instrument.

I don't mind.

We like to feel empowered - that's why elevators have
door close buttons. I tend to think there's little that
makes any difference. Of course regular exercise of a
moderate sort can make one feel better about oneself,
which in itself is a benefit as well as probably being a
major factor in maintaining health. But there are plenty
of people who are perfectly comfortable in their own
skin without doing any of it.

Jim Fixx comes to mind. And that Rodale guy who boasted

over at 72.

That's so. It helps me a lot to have had doctors who
envy and admire my attitude (there have also been a
bunch who completely did not, and I got pretty much the
worst care from those).

Yay, meat.
