I looked at myself in the mirror a couple of weeks back and looked kind of pudgy. So I eventually got on the scale and I think I&#8217;m up five pounds. If you&#8217;re not a dude, you may wonder how I can have a brand-new medicine cabinet with a mirror behind the shelves, one on the front of the door, and one on the back of the door without actually looking myself in the mirror. But if you&#8217;re asking yourself that you&#8217;re not a dude. I look particularly at where I&#8217;m shaving without seeing my face. I look at if my hair standing straight up or whether I need a haircut but I don&#8217;t look at how much grey is there. I can look at various specifics without seeing the overall fat old greying guy who is standing there because, well, I&#8217;m a dude. That&#8217;s just sort of the way it goes.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the weight gain, I sort of had a cheeseburger on Friday, but I&#8217;m not counting it because of several accounting tricks I&#8217;m employing. One is that it was blue cheese and not cheddar or swiss. I&#8217;m not counting crumbly cheeses. The second reason is that it was paid for by work, so I&#8217;m pretending it was forced on me. Don&#8217;t go telling me I could have had a salad instead, because that would assume that waving a tasty not-quite-a-cheeseburger under my nose wasn&#8217;t a cruel trick by an employer who knows how to manipulate his employees. What I&#8217;m saying is that I&#8217;m blaming others for my fallibility. It&#8217;s more fun that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been gaining weight lately.
