As you know, Dear Readers, I retired long ago from the Air Force. At the time of my retirement, I was a stalwart, lantern-jawed Defender of Democracy, in about as good physical condition as I ever was*.
But that was then, and this is now. I've been retired for quite some time, and I have to admit that I'm not in quite as good shape as I used to be**. I watch my co-workers who are still on active duty as they hit the gym every day, compare notes on distances run, lift weights more substantial than a beer stein at Sine's, and prepare to rain fire and death upon our nation's enemies by keeping themselves at the peak of physical fitness.
I need to do something.
And so, my friends, I have stepped up to the challenge. I've enlisted Mike as my chief trainer and will be starting tomorrow on my program ...
Have a good day. But have it quietly, because I'm training. More thoughts tomorrow.
Bilbo

Now that's a challenge for me!
Now that's a great strategy for living in style!
I love it! What a training schedule. There comes a point when all that sweating and exercising looks daunting.
Be sure to get a spiffy napping exercise outfit and look sharp while gettingfit!
Will you have group training sessions with your grandkids?
Dave, you should know that there's no napping that goes on when grandchildren are around!
What's this 'resting' stuff? Who's got time to rest when there are naps to take?
Oh I like this challenge. Bet i can win! Yep, I don't need no stinkin' 15 days to work up to a 2 hr nap. No siree, I'm in shape and can do that at the drop of a hat right now!
:-)
Buckle down, Bilbo. You can do it!
