For the past 6 weeks I have been semi-seriously trying to lose weight. No fancy (expensive) diet plan. Just cutting back on the groceries I consume, and being more careful about the food I eat....

Update in At the foot of the hill

If you read my last entry, you will understand this one: John is receiving morphine injections. Food and water as he can manage it. Nothing else. All his regular meds have been taken away. T...
