   That’s my theory – weight is like energy; neither made or consumed, only shifted. For someone to lose 5 pounds, someone has to gain 5. Usually me.

   Back in the dark ages, I worked at a small CPA firm. We traditionally had a company-sponsored Christmas party at a nice restaurant. One year, one of the partners called me into his office and asked me (as the senior staff member) to poll the rest of the staff to see if they wanted to go to the Bonanza steak house (a chain steakhouse if you don’t remember it) instead. Of course, the votes were unanimously negative.

   Upon reporting these results, the partner told me it wasn’t a choice; that’s where it was going to be held. Several staff members told me they were not going to attend.

   I left the firm just after Thanksgiving, so I didn’t attend either.

    I had some mice in my garage. I found three old-style snap traps I’ve had for years. After the first three victims, the rest seem to have figured them out. I’ve come out to tripped traps, without the peanut butter I was using as bait, but no mouse.

    I finally found the hole they were using to get in and fixed it.
