Biggest Loser...Season 2...starts now!

It's on...check your local listings...Vandercar version of the Biggest Loser - Season 2 premiered on New Years Day with the big weigh in and even waist measurements by Dr Jillian Oz...a.k.a. Sandy. Last year, it was $5.00 a week. If you were the biggest loser that week...you didn't have to pay, if you gained weight you had to pay double, whoever lost the most at the end of the 3-4 months...won the money. Jerry ended up with $700+ with Jamie coming in second, by a very small fraction of a gram. Honorable mention goes to Chari, who had her own series going on and lost probably more than the payers...and Verna too! Great going!
Spots are still available for this season. There is a new game plan with the money...see Dr. Jillian Oz...a.k.a. Sandy. My goal last year was to just feel better and stronger...and more engergy. Failed. This year I don't care, I just want to weigh less than the younger of my two brothers. And I have a plan...I mean I already bought the little cokes and baked chips! Watch out Dave. Curious as to the progress? Well, tune in here now and then and I'll have the updates. Hint...I weigh a little more than Bobble me. I won't post it, other to say it's the equivilent of 7,745.22 Hebrew Shekels. Go figure.

New Years Eve Matters

I won't go into the details, but due to plans others had and plans others made for me (work), I ended up with nothing to do on New Years Eve.
Now, before you feel sorry for me...I had a great New Years Eve, Eve and a great New Years Day...(pictures later).
As much as I kept telling myself..."forget it, it's just another nite"...I knew to me, it wasn't just another nite.
I've decided:
New Years Eve Matters.
It matters because:
1. I'm a sentimental, symbolic meloncholy. I attach meaning to everything. New Years Eve should be a time for looking back on the life of that year and reflecting, resolving, remembering, reliving...and celebrating. And New Years Eve should be a time of looking forward to the next year of life with hopes, expectations, dreams and wonder.
2. This should be done surrounded by, if so blessed the person you love and the people you love most. (silly hats and champagne are optional, but highly recommended).

So, having come to terms with the above, I gave up trying to rationalize that New Years eve is a night like any other nite. I won't try to convince myself otherwise. To me, it's not, simply because I am who I am and it is what it is to me. And I'm ok with that. I'm glad it matters. I know this now and will plan my next and next and next accordingly no matter what plans I or others have.
