Thank you!
I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my previous questions in thoughtful (and thought-provoking) fashions.

Side thoughts and odd notions
Why is it that it's "okay" for a young Latino man to wear a "Brown Pride" t-shirt or have it tattooed in large friendly letters on his back, but it would be considered racist if I were to do something like that with "White Pride"?

Thoughts from a treadmill . . .
As some of my flist knows, I've been dieting and exercising since August, since the back doctor turned me loose to work out as hard as I could. I've made good progress, down about 20 pounds from earlier in the summer, and a hydrostatic weigh in about three weeks ago had me at 266, with an increase of eight pounds of lean muscle mass.
