With nine straight weeks of limited exercise and unlimited gluttony, I have achieved a record state of corpulence. And while I knew this would be the case given the work schedule and the trip to Israel, there is a not insignificant tinge of disappointment in my report. Not that I am fat, mind you. That is obvious, known in advance, predictable, etc. No, my disappointment stems from the fact that even with all of the excess of the last two months, I was not able to crack the mythical "2 Bills" (200 lbs) mark. My post-sloth weigh in on Tuesday morning in fact only beat my previous high by two tenths of a pound, at 197.8.
And so, I began two days ago yet another quest to drop a few pounds and exercise a little more. Since I'm on a semi-sabbatical right now, I'm finding the sledding easy, with little excuse to blow off the weigh in and access to a lot of good, healthy choices for meals.
Some of you may know that I have made an important career choice; I will still be in the defense consulting business, but it will be through my own little firm called The FerryBridge Group. I will still be associated with the wonderful people at Delex who gave me my start in the business, but not on a full-time basis. Building up my base of clients will take a bit of time and effort, but the plain fact is that things slow down a bit in the summer anyway, so the opportunity exists for me to lessen my own pace a bit, before a full throttle effort later in the summer. Perhaps by then, I won't be as fat.

"Service disabled Veteran"?
Hearing loss?
It surprises me to see you pull that out. Not criticizing, just observing.Anyway...
Congrats on the exciting development. I wish you the best! (And am quite sure you'll achieve it.)
And if I run across any folks who need focused, solution-oriented support designed to advance organizational goals and priorities, I'll send them your way!
PK--a very good catch on your part.
Here's the deal:
It isn't that I "pull that out". The SDVOB designation is one which distinguishes a business owned by a Service Disabled Veteran. Which I am. Not just hearing loss, dearie (speak up), but myriad other ailments. Few, if any, are in so good a position as you to judge my deterioration over the years, no?
But more importantly, when companies pursue government contracts, there is often language in the solicitation that specifies a certain percentage of the revenue that has to go to SDVOB's--and big companies are often looking for little companies with the SDVOB designation to partner with. Hence, my "pulling that one out"
Wahoo,
Best of luck with your new venture! I predict wild success.
Hey Fatboy,
You need someone to keep your calendar and keep the story. Telework only. I am available.
And get your corpulence on some form of the paleo diet. You don't drink beer, and have NO REASON to be a fatty. NavyAustin and I have lost a large 8th grader between us (pounds) by eating MORE bacon. True Story.
And you live on a farm? Or have acres at your command? Here is your remediation plan: Dig post holes. THAT will bust your hump. Then graduate to slit trenches.
Tongkat Ali.
You should reach your goal of touching 2 bills before heading back down, just to say you've been there. You are a biscuit away, go for it fatso.
Damn, that's cold Anon.
