Best Of

In '98, I was in Cambodia on a short-term missions trip to help build an addition on an orphanage (if any country needed 100x more orphanages, it was/is Cambodia - look it up sometime).

The missionary couple who ran the orphanage and arranged our visit found out I was having a birthday during our stay. They asked their cook to bake me a birthday cake... you guessed it... it was a Durian cake. Looked entirely like a normal layer cake, but none of us in the group could get a piece close to our mouths, even if we wanted to.

If the weather allows I walk three miles every other day. Nothing is flat here in these mountains so it's up hills and down hills on old logging tracts. Good cardio workout and I get to see critters every now and then. I've got a reclining bike, a pull down/pull out machine, a bench and a full set of dumbbells in my studio for the days I cannot walk. I'm 78 and still weigh 165 the same as I was when I graduated from Parris Island. Got to keep moving.
