Five Pounds In

 Welcome back

I'm five lbs into the 15 lbs of weight gain

which is my goal for

this holiday season.

That is about 2.2 Kg 

for everyone else on the planet

The Christmas season

kicks off with a feast

and then continues

with a mass marketing push

and a celebration of retail sales.

"I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on ..."

Here it's cold at night but nice during the day.

Typical Fall weather

The local

is a flat sheet of water 

as far as the eye can see

groomed by gentle 

offshore winds

(btw it might kick up again wed-thur)

I will sit here deleting offers

for free money

half off

and my personal favorite

last chance to send a dollar

for the rest of the year
