I love this brilliant doctor.

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular

> A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a

WHALES! =O
Now this is a diet I could follow. LOL
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride."
Don't know who said that.
Yeah, let's just live as we want. We are going to die anyway.
very interesting way of looking at life Leo!! cannot say that I disagree either :-)
