*SNIFF* I just had lunch for the last time (barring any special efforts to get together on occasion in the future) with my regular lunch crew. Starting Monday they'll be working across town in a newly refurbished building. Whoop-de-damn-do for them. Now I've nobody with whom to go eat lunch, and nobody with whom to talk about my shows like the all important life-and-death matters that they are. The pain will be especially felt come Wednesday. Oh, how I'll be a-hurtin'.

On the up side, now that I'll be spending lunch hours at my desk drinking Slim Fast (and maybe I can spend part of that time stair jogging, too), I shouldn't have too much trouble losing my holiday weight, and that last 20 pounds I've never been able to get rid of besides. Always look on the bright side ...
