DARK AND COLD AND DREARY

I know one reason so many American adults are overweight. The weather..

When it's sunny and bright and warm, it's easy to get outside and play.

When it's cold and dark and dismal, it's easier to curl up on the couch, eat ice cream and bake brownies.

Which is why I weighed 135 lbs. in Hawaii. And here I have JUST gotten under 200 for the first time in a year.

But wait a minute, I live where it is normally sunny and bright and warm.

Damn, yesterday I actually had a good excuse.
