Bill loves to sit on the sofa on Sundays and watch golf. Bill no longer plays golf because of a bad back. We are fortunate to have the Canadian Open in town. The weather forecast for the last day of play is clear and warm. I suggest we go to the golf tournament and walk the course rather than sitting on the sofa and watching it. Tickets are bought and early the next morning we are out the door.

I came across a note worthy article while catching up on my professional reading. Researchers at Harvard University came up with some interesting results while looking at a 12 to 20 year analysis of 120,877 people who started the study healthy and nonobese. The analysis looked at that weight gain that creeps up over the years.

Chef Dave is visiting us this week. There is lots of work to be done, lots of foods to taste, and our schedule is packed full. Bill is unsure how this week will work out for him. We have friends and neighbors invited for dinner two nights. It's not often you have a chef in your home to prepare meals for your guests.
