There are things in life that have the characteristic of both being both a benefit and a detriment. For me driving is one of these. For the first 28 years of my life I didn’t have a driver’s license. I walked or rode a bike everywhere or took a bus when I needed to travel longer distances. I was pretty fit in those days – burning as many calories as I consumed. And then I got a license. For a few years it was ok. My wife (girlfriend at that time) had a car and would let me use it some. But the some became more as I decreased my walking/biking and began driving more.

Thanks! I think I’ll write more and and will write more often.
