Stupid...

What do cows and couples have in common?

Both are domesticated!

Which is to say, both are fat... or at least that was the theory of my friend Maria when we were in college. She had a whole thesis of how serious relationships contribute to weight-gain. Through a complicated equation concerning comfort, couch-sitting, less strenuous (if more regualar) sex, and a lowered bar caused by ao variable attractiveness-to-gettin-some ratio.

I scoffed back then, but now... catching myself in the mirror, it seems I've succumbed.

And my new YMCA has this "coach approach" where someone calls you when you don't sign in for a week, and they watch your progress and keep track. So I'm convinced I'll beat the domestication process. Yes indeed. I'll kick it. With a little help from the Young Men's Christian Association.

Jesus was skinny.
