Hmmm, does back fat show as much when you're lifting something over your head?

What is it with this whole back fat thing???? I was prepared for the trials and indignities of middle age but never expected back fat!


I'm going to Prague week after next...anyone been? Any recommendations for must see/do?

Bruno, love the new avatar. Very Scottish. Know nothing about Prague. My brother loved it. Well, there's one thing I know. If you didn't have back fat until you were middle aged, consider yourself blessed.

I just got back from Kiddieland, an old amusement park built in 1929. They still have some of the original carousel horses--I rode on one. It's designed for little kids, so it's like a really toned-down carnival. I went with my sister, BIL, my 3 yr old niece and 7 yr old nephew, another couple who are dear friends of my sis, and their 7 yr old son. The kids are best of friends. Just learned that the woman of the couple is pregnant!!! They'd been trying for a second child for a long time, and were in the process of starting the adoption process when she conceived. I am so happy for them. She was one of my running buddies this winter and spring, but sort of disappeared from running this summer. Now I know why!

Had a great time. It was nice to be around so many young families--no big rowdy people, almost no one smoking, and everyone looking out for the little kids. My niece is fearless. We call her "Maya, Warrior Princess". She's also incredibly loving and funny and smart...my nephew's a blast, too, but he's not so much into hanging with Aunt Lise! Good times.

Bruno - was in Prague a few years ago - it's a lovely, lovely city!! We went over Christmas - lots of free Chritsmas concerts going on - the school also did free concerts - very nice - meals were cheap - but good - we learned very quickly to have the hotel make all cab arrangements for us - whether we were leaving the hotel or coming back to the hotel - I hope you have a great time - don't forget the Charles Bridge and the Astronomical clock - they are must dos!!

Thanks Bicyclette.

I see you are in Belgum. I was in Bruges last year. It was lovely. Unfortunately it was before I started cycling as it would have been great to hire a bike to get around the city. I've heard Prague isn't really a bicycle friendly city.

Bruno -

I wasn't into cycling when we went to Prague so I don't really remember...

If you want really bicycle friendly - Amsterdam is the place to be - the sheer volume of bikes is incredible!! LOL

Belgium - a lot of people where my husband works are afraid to cycle in Belgium ( and some of these people are Belgians! ) - they are afraid of the Belgain drivers ( and with good reason )

I'm old enough to be his mother (and then some....). He might be "pretty", ("pretty damn hunky), but..... do you really think he looks like a girl????

Just wondering!
