thecoach's Journal, 19 January 2011

I'm maintaining well and I got my new hand splint this morning...
It's black and shining it should keep me amused for a few days ...
I download loaded the Darth Vader's light saber sound from Star Wars to my phone and every time I move my hand I press the sound....it's pretty cool..


I saw this in my wife's ADA Newsletter

THE NEW YEAR'S DIET
Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste,
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist!

When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I remembered the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese,
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."

As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt,
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt,
I said to myself, as only I can, "You can't spend all winter disguised as a man!"
So away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip,
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished,
'Til all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie -- not even a lick,
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry!
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore,
But isn't that what January is for?

Unable to giggle, no longer a riot,
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

Haha...fascinated by your shiny terminator hand...you sound like a magpie! Glad to hear all is well--don't do anything crazy, like say, actually use your hand as a light saber though. I'm in love with your wife's newsletter! Super cute hahaha! Have a great Wednesday, Coach :)
