All good news comes with a price

The good news: I've recently lost 5 pounds and am well on my way to being back down to my fighting weight.

The reasons why: No longer sitting on my ass for 9 hours a day in cube-land, and the fact that I've taken up jogging.

The unpleasant side effects: Tonight while huffing and puffing along my favorite trail in a nearby park, a bird pooped on me.
