A Few Pounds Lighter
Sorry Pro’s been away so long. Between the suddenly long hours on the job and working out, I’ve not posted for a couple weeks.
I misspoke when I said I weighed 235 pounds a couple weeks back. I was on one of those analog scales. I was really still hovering around 240. As of this morning, I was at 234.6, give or take a couple of tenths of a pound.
I’m feeling a whole lot better than I have been in a lot of years. My mindset has improved, although I found myself yesterday wanting to take a baseball bat to the printer at work that has broken down four times in the last two weeks. It’s a good thing we don’t have a major proposal production effort going now, or we’d be SOL.
I’m doing 10 minutes of cardio on an elliptical trainer, then some light weight training. I say light because the machine in the building fitness center offers only six exercises. The five I do are the leg extension, lying leg curls, wide-grip lat pulldown, machine bench press and machine chest fly.
I’ll make the investment in a health club in due time, but for now, the work fitness center is free. Can’t beat that with a baseball bat.

And on another topic, I am surmising that the idea of winning kazoos doesn’t excite many of you. In an earlier post I asked which 1970s funk group recorded a song that featured the prominent use of kazoos. The one who guessed correctly would have gotten a pair of kazoos. But no one hazarded a guess.
Here’s your answer:
The group is Mandrill, they of “Fencewalk” fame, and the cut is Peck Ya Neck, from a 1975 LP titled Solid. If you haven’t heard Solid, check it out. It’s Pro’s favorite Mandrill album, including the title cut and Wind on Horseback.
