I saw an interview once with the author of Jaws and he said he regrets making sharks scarier than they actually are. I was at Virginia Beach the summer that Jaws was a movie. These kids ran out of the water with blood all over their arms and said they had been bitten by a shark. The beach was cleared and no one was allowed in the water.

The next morning it was on the news that they had cut themselves with broken glass.

Good morning all and Happy Friday,

My trip to the DMV was quick. I was in and out in thirty minutes. I booked an appointment and got front of line privileges with my cane. I actually have my real weight for the first time in 20 years. See new vs old license below.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The potluck lunch, that I'm handling solo, is today. I think I may have bit off more than I can chew. I'm making two different kinds of ceviche, fajitas, elotes, and salsa.

Bad news on the medical front. I learned the results of my back and knee MRIs. I have a bulging disc in my lower back and a torn meniscus in my right knee. More fun ahead; stay tuned.

The weekend should be great. I'm looking forward to family, friends, and fun. Have a great weekend all!

QOTD- My favorite place to swim is North Beach on Isla Mujeres, MX. A goal is to be able to swim again.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, blueberries.

L: Mexican and Latin American delights. Ceviche for sure. There will be carbs!

D: PP shake or something light.

S: popcorn.

That's awesome on the drivers license!

so sorry you're dealing with more health issues. Back stuff is no fun on top of bad knees and hips. Hope you have a plan of action soon!

North Beach on Isla Mujeres, I actually dumbed my father's ashes of this beach because him and mom loved it so much. When she passes, I'll head back and put hers there. That is if she does not outlive me.

I hate to be that person but please black out or take down your DL details. This is a public site and you are putting yourself at risk.

congrats on an easy DMV experience and good luck at the potluck! I bet it goes off smooth! Have a great weekend!

all the food you made sounds great! I make elote a lot in the summer when I can get good local corn. I love it!

sometimes bulging discs don't cause discomfort. If they press on nerves - then they would.

There is a possibility that as you lose more weight AND do stretching - that the bulging disc may improve.
