Idaho prize
Dick and Nancy picked up my prize from the Idaho A-meet. For an O' meet, the prizes were unusual. One part of the prize was a medal on a ribbon. But, the rest of the prize was a natural ointment (seems to be something like Bengay) and a book on food and excercise.
The book looks amusing. One excercise is the M&M walk. Here's how it works. Start at one end of a football field with a bag of M&Ms. Eat one. Walk to the other end of the field. Eat another M&M. Walk back. You can go through the entire bag.
I used to have my own version of a junk-food session. I'd ride the elevator from my office to the 9th floor (I work on 21). I'd walk up the stairs with a short stop on the 18th floor. There is a candy machine next to the stairway on the 18th floor. I'd look at an item -- maybe a powdered sugar donut -- decide "no way, I'm not eating that junk," and then walk back to my desk.
