Now that I am older ...

1. My goal for 2020 was to lose 10 pounds. Only have 14 to go!

2. How to prepare Tofu: a. Throw it in the trash b. Grill some meat, chicken or fish 3. I just did a week's worth of cardio after walking into a spider web. 4. I don't mean to brag, but I finished my 14- day diet food supply in 3 hours and 20 minutes. 5. A recent study has found women who carry a little extra weight live longer than men who mention it. 6. Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel. 7. Senility has been a smooth transition for me. 8. Remember back when we were kids and every time it was below zero outside, they closed school? Yeah, me neither. 9. I may not be that funny or athletic or good looking or smart or talented - I forgot where I was going with this. 10. I love approaching 80, I learn something new every day and forget 5 other things. 11. A thief broke into my house last night. He started searching for money so I woke up and searched with him. 12. I think I'll just put an "Out of Order" sticker on my forehead and call it a day. 13. Just remember - once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
