At Christmas I received a small black dog, or at least something with some of the values of having a dog. You see a lot of people have a dog to force them into some degree of exercise, like walking, as in "I need to take the dog for a walk". I mean, you really don't need to have a dog as an excuse, you could have a nagging spouse (let me make it perfectly clear, I DON'T) that would work also. The key is having something to motivate you. I don't have the time for a full time motivator like a dog, so, I received at Christmas a small FITBIT. This little tattle tale starts jumping up and down on my wrist if I sit and relax to long, as if to say "get up and take a walk you lazy piece of good for nothing dirt". I mean, here I sit writing this entry and the dang thing has gone off on my wrist twice already. Hey, come on, give me a break, I'm writing and watching the cheese heads get their butts kicked all at the same time, that has to count for something. All right, calm down, I now have a motivator that is like having a dog and a silent nagger that encourages me to get up and take a walk. How is it working you say? Really great. I have found myself taking a 3 mile walk at least 4 times a week. Small problem however, after the walk I sit down to a couple of cookies and a cup of coffee. Hey, the old dog needs a little reward once in awhile.
The next BLOG entry just may be a RED LETTER entry, which means some of you may not want to read it. Red LETTER entries are usually Political or Religious, So, if you see a RED LETTER entry it is meant for my Grandchildren to read in the future. When they are older I want them to know what their Grandfather thought and observed. So just be aware.
PS. Latest update" The Green Bay Cheese Heads have just reserved their seat on the couch for the 2017 Superbowl. Congratulations. My use to be Chargers reserved their seat way early.
