Thanks for the reminder Lee. I think I'll be boarding the train for awhile myself. I need to loose my last 15 pounds.

Lee, thanks for this reminder. I have to do this along with a lot of exercise to get the rest of these 20 lbs off my azz. Well not there b/c it's almost flat, but my stomach, arms, shoulders, etc.
