I'm in the best shape of my life. I box; I hike; I run; I swim; I climb; I surf; I do a million other things. I work out at least once a day, six days a week, and I push myself beyond the limits of what I could do in my teens and twenties. So...
...why do I have a persistent belly tire? My shoulders have grown 4 jacket sizes in the last 5 years, but my belly remains stubbornly jiggly, despite the fact that I hammer away at those abdominal exercises, suffering for the elusive 6-pack.
Is it genetics? My dad is super-healthy but also has a bit of extra padding there. Is it diet? I am a very healthy eater. Is it lack of sleep? (I don't sleep more than 5 hours a night.) Is it stress? Our bodies store fat when we face emergencies.
I don't know. But I'd appreciate any advice you have. I'm not into supplements because I don't trust them; I am cautious about side effects. I've tried a variety of different diets but I just want to enjoy my healthy food. So... any ideas?
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
