Oh, RW, I'm sorry that I'm so late getting to your thread. I read the whole thing for punishment..
I'm glad your appt. is over and he didn't call you fat. I have gained a bunch of weight too and I don't care, so there.

I do hope you get back in good shape, so you can get to that river.
I can't wait for you to get back on the river and start telling us all the fasinating stories of the things you do and the people you meet.
