I made my Day 1 post from a restaurant with wifi in the charming town of South Bend. It took awhile to get the hang of this picture posting stuff. I had a delicious mocha ice cream cake. I've been eating with reckless abandon, thinking the extra calories burned would keep me trim, but I'm actually getting fatter, believe it or not. My theory is that once my metabolism revs up the pounds will melt away. I'll keep you posted on developments...
