IV'E HIT THE BIG ONE
OVERALL RATING
Since age 11 when I first saw the Charles Atlas ads in the back of Dad's Popular Mechanics magazine, I've dreamed of having that HE-MAN BODY. So today as I celebrate my 65th Birthday, I feel like I've pretty much achieved that dream despite the fact that I live with AIDS. Amazing advancements in HIV medications and creative alternative therapies plus a lot of hard work in the gym have made this all possible. And now my little workout buddy named "Atlas The Athletic" clad in his Leopard print singlet, is helping me celebrate by squatting 495 amidst the stuff I use to keep me healthy and looking closer to 35 than 65. Once I blow out those two candles and wolf down that delicious New England blueberry cinnamon coffee cake I'll be ready to step into my "golden years". There I'll become like a certain gnome I know who lifts in the garden rather than just sitting in it. I'll be the one wearing those Leopard print posers you see down there in the left hand corner.
