You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

How about never having anything intervene and just getting progressively slower over the course of a year, no matter what you tried?

Argh. We're all crawling uphill, aren't we? And the hill just keeps getting steeper...

If I were better about my diet I might improve, I suspect. But I love my home-baked cookies and my wine.

shrift,

not for nothing, but labs have been known to make mistakes. I wonder if you could get your lab work done again.

I don't think you can get more low-fat diet water than La Croix, which is what I drink.

I wish I liked oatmeal. I keep trying it in different combinations, but it's just not something I want to eat voluntarily.

I guess I'll just have to cut out all the things I shouldn't be eating. That's gonna make Christmas with my family this year super hilarious.

I'm supposed to try to lose some weight and come back in a couple of months to run my numbers again, so I guess we'll see.

I wish I liked oatmeal.

I guess you get to miss out on this, then.

Good point, Burrell. Leifur was making a noise that didn't sound like a barking cough. It actually sounded like he was saying, "woof." He hasn't displayed any other signs of asthma, but I'll keep an ear out for it.

Re: artisinal porridge. My steel cut oatmeal with cranberries, walnuts, and brown sugar seems so mundane now. Yummy, but mundane. On the upside, it didn't cost $7/bowl.

I do have a bag of Bob's Red Mill Oatmeal to use up, so I guess I can keep experimenting using some of those hipster recipes.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I flavor oatmeal with Torani sugar-free syrups.
