Oh no! Chin tucks!

So, my doc sent me to see the torture specialists at our local physical therapy gym because I've been having problems with my neck and one shoulder. First day, this therapist (you know the one - mid-twenties) sits me down in front of a mirror (!) and asks me to do chin tucks. Oh dear.
So I've started my diet in earnest. But if things don't work out, you'll be able to recognize me at the reunion. I'll be the one in a full-body paper bag. =)

Southwest Airline Sale

No, I don't work for Southwest Airlines. (Wish I did - then I'd fly free!) I received an email this morning - they are having a sale for the next 48 hours. I thought I'd pass along the link for those of us who have a long journey to make it home to the reunion. Prices from El Paso to Nashville (my flight) look pretty good.

One for the girls

If you're an old Nancy Drew fan, you might enjoy this book. My next-door-neighbor in Las Cruces loaned it to me for a vacation read, and I'm getting a kick out of it. Lots of information about the syndicate that created it and the women (and man!) who actually wrote the books. Alas, there is no Carolyn Keene! The name was a pseudonym used by the authors, sworn to secrecy by the syndicate. They received between $85-$125 per book. No residuals.

Any walkers out there?

I'm thinking it might be fun to have an informal early morning walk while we're in Russellville. I'm not sure at this point what dates I'll be in town, but I'm proposing that anyone who would like to walk (maybe about 2+ miles, moderately paced) could meet at the stadium, say around 7 a.m. I'd be up for doing this all the days I'm there. We could vary the route each day.

Give us a chance to see what's new in town - maybe some of you locals could explain to us out-of-towners what we're looking at.

Any takers?
