Just think of the weight you're losing.

I'm sure you know a flu shot can give you a minor dose of the flu. That's how your body builds an immunity to it. Your good buddy Dr. Ryan could probably give you chapter and verse.

Trust me, you and John would get along well in person. We spent a week together in New Orleans and never had an unpleasant moment. Well, maybe other than when I spoke in the car in a voice louder than appropriate. One afternoon we were looking for an Outback Steakhouse. I spotted it first. "There it is!!! Outback!!!" John was so startled he almost ran off the road. "Moik," he said, "dial it back a little."
