I spent this rainy afternoon filling teabags. I filled six different tea caddies, and all I'm missing from my usual supply is my unbranded Keemun. If it's raining next week I'll take the train to Kobe's Chinatown and see if I can find the same stuff. I searched the net and found Fortnum & Mason's Keemun, which is 'almost' as good (and I do love their 'Royal Blend') and is no longer sold in Japan. For about £16 I can get 250g of Keemun and 250g of Royal Blend... and it will only cost me £40 more to ship it... Think I'll take the train to Kobe for £6...

Au contrair! Everything UP to 50 is just rehearsal!

Still got about 12 pounds to go... To push me along I looked at some photos of me taken last birthday. That helped.

Would that it was only 12 more for me... I've decided I want to drop at least another 25. I only need 10 to reach the goal that I set for my October trip, and I'm not worried about reaching that. But the final 15 are going to be rough...
I've attached a photo from age 33... in shape, when I was teaching fencing and Kung Fu, Skiing, rock climbing, etc, and at then at 40 starting to lose it right after Grad school... It's now 25 years after that and it's really, really gone...
Maybe liposuction will work... What do they do with all the extra skin?
