While in the Shenandoah Valley over the weekend, my Uncle Sam and I crossed paths at a local bagel eatery. I have come to favor going to this particular place for Sunday breakfast knowing that there is a good chance of seeing him there at his corner table (yes it's his table, complete with his name), greeting friends and acquaintances who happen to come by before going to church. On this morning, we met him as he was reading a book, sipping coffee and eating an unadorned bagel. Commenting that he was looking rather trim, he explained that he has shed twenty five pounds--at age 79. Impressed, I too consumed my bagel sans toppings and fat-making innards, and have carried with me this week the thought that if he can do it, I can too. Thank you Uncle Sam, I want the inspiration to stay with me.
