A Not-So-Unexpected Non-Loss

Weekly weigh-in: 222.3
Loss: + 4.8
Total loss: -69.6
Emotion: Loco






They have an old saying in Cancun: “Sir, here’s your chips and guacamole, a Coco Loco in a coconut shell and your icy cold Corona with lime. Can I bring you anything else?”

They say it over and over, those beautiful peoples of Mexico. If I heard it once, I heard it a dozen or more times during the mini-vacation I took in Mexico with my wife Anita at an all-inclusive resort.

I asked an old lady handing out towels by the pool what the words meant.

“Usted es un idiota,” she frowned.

I guess I’ll never know their meaning, but I’ve gotta tell you that I loved the way those words floated across the warm, surf-smelling air and asked the locals to repeat them to me over and over and over.

A few too many times apparently.

Oh, well. We have a saying in these parts as well: “Time to get back to work.”

  3. Holidays would be no fun if you didn't indulge a little. And you sound like you've had a lot of fun.
