The Ultimate Revenge

My former boss has to take seven pills a day to combat high blood pressure. I ride bike. My goal is to have the lowest blood pressure of any newspaper editor in Oregon. Of course, I also believe in the occasional news fast, as recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil in the book "Spontaneous Happiness." I am in the business of causing blood to boil. I am in the business of stirring up cortisol to unprecedented levels. I am in the business of entertaining curmudgeons and causing the petulant and judgmental to become even more so. No matter. This makes Younger Next Year all the more important as a natural antidote to the unhealthy vat of fires, crimes and accidents that make up a successful daily newspaper.

What an exceptional challenge. I love being able to stay healthy while other, supposedly smarter and more successful individuals, fly off the tracks.
