High places and update on weight loss

Last night, I went up into the campanile twice. Both times, I only made it up behind the clocks, because I didn't want to climb the rickety ladder up to the room with the bells--and there was no way I was getting through that small opening anyway. The first time, I was the first one down, and I ended up having to wait while the other two people took pictures out of the small windows--I should have brought my camera.....and film. The second time, I was second-to-last on the way down. The stairs are so small and steep, I could have kneed the person in front of me in the head, or kicked her in the kidneys. Of course, I would never do that, because I'm a nice-ish guy--and her fiance would have tried to damage my insides.

In other news, my weight loss is up to 30 pounds!! In just over 6 weeks! Just 10 more, and I'm back down to what I was as a junior in high school. I'm now down to the weight I was when I left ISU after my first year at college--260 pounds. I lost 45 pounds that year--mostly due to going from not moving at all to walking at least a mile a day, and nearly starving the first few weeks because I didn't know where to go to get food. It always used to just appear in the house. How was I supposed to know you actually had to go buy it--or that CyRide was free? Anyway, I'm also back down to being able to fit into XL shirts, but I still like my XXL shirts--they're so roomy, I could nearly fit another person in some of them.
