Well...I went to the doc last week for an ear infection. Paid good money for the doctor to tell me what I already knew. But I also found out that I have high blood pressure, something I didn't realize had been creeping up on me.

Generally speaking, I enjoy very good health. Many people I know my age and younger take multiple pills every day for various ailments. Until now, I've only taken vitamins and my allergy medicine. I feel really good most days, and have never really had any major health issues.

Guess I was due.

So I'm off on a new adventure. I am adding more walking to my regimen. I am changing my diet – even thinking of going mostly vegetarian, as that's a healthy alternative. All in the name of lowering those BP numbers. We'll see how it goes. It certainly won't hurt to do those things regardless of what the BP numbers are.

So...here we go. In the words of Forrest Gump, who is often called Forrest Gump, "Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you gonna get."

Indeed, Forrest. Indeed.
