MikeK: Beware Of Waist Line Creep

MikeK (RE: Polar bears, are you ready?): You people do know that I work, right? And that I have a large family and my father has been with us for three weeks? I have only a few days left until I go from recipient of bribes back to offerer of bribes, but the truth is I would have said post it without a bribe. Anytime I can be reminded of what 65 extra pounds (and about 75 cholesterol points and 20 or 30 blood pressure points) I'm good with that. Alas I've been slowly creeping back in the wrong direction so the pic helps me remember. And, of course, even with those 65 pounds my wife thought I was a handsome devil (so she said then, anyway).

Question: Does your wife still think you're a handsome devil?
