Now I have to go in hiding from the Grammar Police.  Horrible title, but I will try to make it work. I am a reality kind of guy.  I try to deal with things as they are, not as I wish them to be.  If I do not like the way it is, I may…

Oh the humanity!  Getting out of shape was easy…it just happens.  Getting back into shape…not so easy.  So here is my story… I am active.  I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs.  I am five foot eleven and weigh between 180-185…not anywhere near perfect, but not too bad.  I was an athlete and ran marathons…
