Addendum to Health

I am doing a mural in Sac this coming week for a woman who will be taking care of her father-in-law. He is a retired history professor, and is bedridden because he is about 5'6" and weighs around 275. Uses a walker when he is in a vertical position. Nothing strange yet, except he is 87 years old. How can you be that big and still be alive at 87? Don't know if he's been obese all his life, but that certainly defies the odds.
Regarding the last post, the doctor was mildly amused when I explained the 3-B diet. Furthermore, when she first saw me, she said I was looking good. I noticed she also had lost a lot of weight, so I complimented her as well. She said the last time I saw her she was pregnant. Faux pax. However, it was a boy and she would like for me to do a mural or something in his room.

Some compliments are best unsaid. You did get a possible job out of it though, so it's a bit of a toss-up I guess?
