To Balter

     It is bitterly cold and icy. It is a day to play music and "balter" around, (which scares my dog a little when I do it).





Here are a couple of interesting health links.  The first reports on research revealing how to possibly add sixteen years to your life.

The second is a well-written post from an athlete suffering from the disease of obesity.  It is easy to forget that obesity is a disease, and that it never ever goes away.
