Both hot and humid... this is the point where I am no longer jealous of your weather

So are you going to start giving us the food intake for the day again. I love reading how much you can eat and still stay so darn thin and fit.

83 degrees, 50% humidity, 12 MPH wind!!! You're one crazy tough Texas boy!!! :)

Kathie..I'm always jealous of your weather and scenery. Like I've said many times, I enjoy the 2 weeks of Spring. It then gets way too hot around here to enjoy running in the summer.

Rhett..I'll spare the lunch details. I've been eating leftover pizza pretty much all week. :)

Teena..83 'taint nothin'. Just wait a few more weeks and we'll be in the 90s and 100s (like Rhett already must be). The humidity makes it tough...and not much fun.

83 'taint nothin'??

Oh man!!! You are crazy!!! :)
