I would run to the library every chance I got. There, I would pace back and forth while reading, magazines, legal documents and just about anything that covered my interests at the time. I would run to my parents house to talk with ol dad and then walk home.

I would walk to band practice. I worked in a Country Music band on weekends and would dance a bit on stage while I played guitar and sang. When the gig was close enough, I would walk there with my guitar and small amp. Being married and only having one car, let me walk a lot!

I would do lots of house work after getting home from my 10 hour a day job. I did some cooking but I am a really lousy cook. I didn't eat very much back then. I would take nice brisk walks, very early in the morning before my wife got up.

One morning around 9:35 AM, I ran faster than I had ever ran before. I ran past McDonald's with a big smile. I ran past Dunkin Donuts with a great grin! I ran past Waffle House with a whoopeee!

When I finally reached my destination, I ran up the steps, through a long hallway and right up to a man who I will always remember fondly. I handed him my papers and he asked me," What is the reason for this divorce?" I replied," do you want me to run back home and get her?" He just grinned and granted my wish!

Yip, I ran out of the courthouse that day, and with one stroke of a Judges pen, I lost 160 pounds of lazy fat!
