Hello from Newhall... again

I just watched part of a documentary that I thought some of you would get a kick out of. It follows a band member from a glam rock band from 1972 called The Dolls. They were really big in the UK I guess. What makes this documentary interresting is that this band member converted to the church late in life and shows him working in the LA temple grounds family history library, meeting with his home teacher and his bishop. It also follows him and his band as they prepare for a big reunion concert in London. He described the feeling he got when he prayed to know if the church was true as a really big (drug induced) high. The film was shown at the Sundance film festival and if it's not available for rental or purchase, I will try to get a copy of it to share.

Also for the biggest loser people (I need to think of a better way to reference you three)... here is a bit of info and a suggestion. You could compete by going for the biggest change in your Body Mass Index score (it might be more fair). To calculate:
BMI= (Weight X 705)/height (in inches)
Normal= 18.5-25 Overweight= 25-30 Obese= >30
FYI: A drop in weight of 10%, will drop your systolic blood pressure by 7% and your cholesterol by 11% (that can't be bad!).

Marnie, thanks again for reminding us about Lost... I just found out that it already gets Tivo'd here where I am staying which means I can catch up on some episodes I thought I had lost (hehe).
That's all folks, enjoy your weekend.

  1. Is that BMI supposed to be 7.05 instead of 705? I was just checking numbers and it didn't work out to any of those ranges.

  1. Just face the music Peter...it isn't the "range", you are just fat:)

  1. Seriously, what is it? Depending on the decimal I can be at 1900+. 190+ or 19+....I obviously prefer the 19+!!!

  1. Well at 7.05, I could still be considered "normal" by that scale if I were 50 pounds havier (260). I am thinking that is extremely generous since I pretty much look heavy at 230. For men, a better scale is simply the difference in inches between your neck size and your belly size in inches. For most men that is almost equal to body fat percentage. And I would think 22% would be the top end of physically fit for my age. 16% is my goal.
