Fat Man Walking…Fight Obesity
Fat Man Walking…Thin, Living, Gracious Man Emerging
A few days ago, one of my closest friends called me up and asked if I heard about “that obese guy walking across the country.” “No,” I said — and frankly, I was a bit shocked that I missed the story. I seem to catch every other story like this one.
