S.A.D.

Scientists believe that S.A.D. (Scale Avoidance Disorder) is caused by somebody not wanting to know how much they weigh. I don’t know if I agree with that, but I do know that lately… ummm… I haven’t really wanted to know how much I weigh.

Maybe it’s because my wife Anita inexplicably switched to a laundry detergent that has made all my britches shrink up.

Maybe it’s because my new favorite workout has been 20 minutes on the stationary treadmill (you hardly break a sweat!).

Maybe it’s that marketers unfairly targeted me during the holiday season. DON’T THEY KNOW ABOUT MY LOVE OF ALL THINGS FLAVORED WITH EGGNOG, GINGERBREAD and/or PUMPKIN SPICE??????????????

Maybe it’s because this site has somehow changed from a weight-loss chronicle to the guy who warms up the comedy club crowd for the guy who warms up the opening act. 

I’m planning some big changes around here (and no… I’m not converting this blog into a massive Ponzi scheme; I spent $99 on an e-book titled “HOW TO CONVERT YOUR BLOG INTO A MASSIVE PONZI SCHEME” but it never turned up...).

Watch this space while I go try to find my scale….
