As I spooned in the pudding, I discussed my mystery weight gain with my missus. Sitting there by the fire watching them old Stallone movies will have you as fat as a fool in no timeShe was right. For I had been sitting around watching my Stallone movies ’til the cows come home. Like Rocky in them old movies, and he overweight, overage, bedraggled and bamboozled, I may once again have to don the gear, talk gibberish, and smack myself in the face, before getting back to doing what I do best. The calf, while he might be a loss maker, could well provide me with the kind of loss I so badly need.
