Well Gary, I liked your joke anyway.  Maybe Missouri humor doesn't work so
well in Maryland.

One tip that I have heard is from the sighted community but could easily be
modified for the non-sighted community. "Every time you go to any store,
you should park at the furthest away parking spot."  If you don't drive,
you could simply just get off of your public transportation of choice, one,
two or even three blocks before hand.

I know that my step count is NOT where it should be but Jenny and I have
now started to make time for a daily walk and it should be starting to
climb some.  I think that is the key, you simply must make time for the
things that are important to you.  We all (especially me) should move
getting/being healthy nearer to the top of our list of priorities.

I hope this helps someone.

Thanks,
Randy Carmack
