It’s a good thing I’m not having a cholesterol test today

because in the oven for lunch is a baking tray covered with foil and on the foil are taco chips sprinkled with a little sharp cheddar cheese and about an eighth of a can of Wolf Brand Chili w/beans, the chili left over from a chili-cheese dog, chopped onion and fries supper a week ago.

I’ve about decided we have this take care of yourself healthwise thing backward. Young people should eat healthy food and exercise and not smoke or drink or do any non-prescription drugs. Young people need muscles and minds in order to compete and make lots and lots of money so they will have retirement accounts and Social Security.

That should last until you retire, and then you can start smoking and drinking and staying out late and driving fast.

But wait!, you say. All that bad stuff means you’ll die within 20 years!

And if retirement age goes to 70 …

Do the math.

Anyway, the oven timer dinged, so it’s time for my bad deed of the day. Not that I have a bad deed to do every day, you understand. It’s a figure of speech.

I’ve got a couple of bottles of Tums and/or the WalMart equivalent, so I’m OK with the chili.
