[AT] Healthy Eating, was "Just checking"

[Stephen Offiler]

Charlie, your comment "once I get started" rings true.  I always seem to be
picking from among a dozen or more things that all really need to get done,
and I can only do one thing at a time.   Once I pick, and get started, I
usually cruise right along and in fact I'm usually working like a pro right
about that time I get finished.  Then of course those skills I just
developed will get rigor mortis before I need them again.
