Dear Richard, I’m not sure why I feel so compelled to write this blog post today and specifically write it about you. Yesterday I was out walking like I normally do. When I walk for long periods of time my mind wanders to what life used to be like for me. I think […] This is (was) me. Obviously I’m in New York. September of 2009. I’m at my heaviest (I think) so topping the scales at 270 pounds but since I didn’t weigh myself I can’t be sure that it’s not more than that.
