Today's my last day with Jeanette home before she goes back to her 13+ hour work days courtesy of public transportation. A very good week considering I've been more depressed about a lot of things than I have in months. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to come to terms with stuff and talk about it, so for now this is it for me today. I'll have more than enough time to open up about stuff when I'm here by myself.

Go, go, go!

I'm really heartened by this.

The gigantic primitive's now only 33 pounds away from dusting off the resume and pounding the pavements looking for a job, so that his wife doesn't have to endure the Last Vegas public transportation system.

This is great news.

I'm hoping the gigantic primitive dips below 400 in time for Christmas.

Frank, you ever thought about submitting an application to the Biggest Loser for it?  Hell .... he could drop 100#'s in a few weeks!  Could be a huge TV star making millions ... Hell, it might even have to pay for someone elses health care!

I'm really ecstatic about this.

The gigantic primitive can do it by Christmas--that's about half a pound a day.

And then maybe on New Year's Day the gigantic primitive can announce to his long-suffering wife that she can quit her job, kick off her shoes, and get some well-deserved rest while he brings home the bacon.

Ya know you need to cut down on the eats when you can say, "I'm down to 433"!

I realize this guy has an ongoing battle, but for cripes sake, how many calories do you have to intake in order to sustain that kind of blubber?

and I think we both know the chances of that happening.

There will also be another ache or pain to keep him from working.
