david, Nancy, you crack me up! I’m already snorting coffee at oh-dark-thirty this frigid Monday morning…

I kind of thought most mink’s/weasels were pretty thin and ’slinky’…and thus my self-reference. But I got a grand chuckle out of the tree kangaroo comparison (thanks for telling me what that was btw, as I had no idea). It is rather unassuming in appearance…looks somewhat like one of our fur-babies…though they are NOT climbers…(except onto furniture).

Oh MattC, Oh Marsupial Matt, I’ve done thee wrong! Those of us who know you are keenly aware (and jealous) of your lack of paunch. I fear I’ve given Nancy_in_Mn false hope. I also extend my apologies to your better half.

I just thought the Tree Kangaroo embodied your tenacious climbing abilities. My failure was to post a picture of a fat one! Though he does share your grin!

You are still down on weight compared to Jan. 1. It could have been worse.

But back to egg whites now. (I am eating salami right now).

Ode to a Marsupial:

Oh Matt, how I adore thee!

Your pudge is part of your appeal
Your posture part of your presence.

Your resemblance to me is uncanny
And yet, you are unassuming.

Oh Matt, how I adore thee!

Thank you

Since we’re talking ‘climbing’ I don’t think weasels or mink the best analogy, though they do climb. I believe a visual likeness is required as well. Check the following and I’ll think you’ll agree:

Another superpower
The ability to go back in time
But not unsurprisingly
Your power is not being used
For your personal (un)gain

I rode hard today
it still hurts
and not just the legs,
and the snacks at work after looked soo good
resistance was futile
and I have no Superpower like Fatty
who can go back in time and change his weight
Personally, I’d change mine down ;-)

@MattC

So may we now refer to you as Matt the Mink?
