San Francisco.....168 pounds!!!!!!!! Even I am shocked looking at and typing those numbers. Losing 5 10 or 15 pounds you see a little change but nothing really to boast about like I feel doing. Losing almost 70 pounds has seriously transformed my looks, my health and what is even more remarkable it has transformed my thinking. In a way it has been way too easy and yet it has also been a

One of the premier events was Jon taking me to a football game at Candlestick Park on an

San Francisco 215......A storming night in the city on the bay. Got back here yesterday from Alaska finally what with all the delays and overbooked flights.
