Danger Bunny!

Years ago, on our honeymoon, Kathy and I were amused by these safety stickers on the Paris Metro. I found a photo of one online, and figured I'd throw it up here as a safety tip.


“Danger! Do not trap your hands on the door: you risk being crushed strongly.”

Butter Mountain, the blog that provided the translation above, posts that the safety ad has also been parodied.

Go, Danger Bunny!

Marryin' Weight

One of my interim goals in my weight loss is to get down to what I call "marryin' weight" -- i.e. my weight on the day I was married in April 2003. That's by no means the ultimate goal; I've got a ways to go after that, although I think the weight scientists tell me I should have for my 5'6" frame (115-154 pounds) seems a little pie-in-the-sky (mmm...pie) if not outright foolish. But marryin' weight is a benchmark, albeit one reached the first time with the Atkins excrete-what-you-eat diet. I'm planning to get there via slower, healthier means this time.

However, looking at my scale today, I realize I'm about nine pounds over that weight right now. And it occurs to me that I'm now probably in my "first week after the hard-eatin' honeymoon in Paris" weight. So yay, me!

Gonna take more than a week to get rid of those crepes, though.
