Don't get too hyped. I know we only normally show just photos of food. These are not photos of food, however.

Tying into the "balanced lifestyle" idea, I show proof that I'm not letting my fat belly slow me down. Although, I'm sorry to say I feel much fatter than these photos show. The first photo on the bicycle was from early October. The second was from this weekend at Apollo Beach on Cape Canaveral. If I had known Paul had his camera aimed at me, I'd have posed better. Anyway, this is for everyone who's been wanting to see pictures of me. I guess truthfully, we haven't even slowed down for a photo shoot. Maybe we'll plan one when my grandmother gets here next week or around Christmas when LOTS of people will be here because by then I shouldn't travel.

The alligator and monkey were from our boat ride down Silver Springs with Captain Jack and Connie (and Paul's folks and my dad, too.) Friends, sunshine, and a serious review of wild nature from a safe distance are great aspects of a balanced lifestyle. This is a truly fabulous time to take advantage of Florida. The weather isn't unbearably hot; so, it's time to find excuses to be outside.

We took the same picnic sandwiches to the beach on Sabbath afternoon and on the boat on Sunday. You may recall me saying on Monday the monkeys were on the other side of the river from us while we ate and stared at us quite intently wondering how we were going to get food to them. We were good citizens and followed the rules that say don't feed the monkeys. I don't think we'll be friends now, however.
