Somebody we know has Two of these!
This is a little hint.  If we showed you two of these - it would be a BIG Hint.

Greetings!

Good morning! Are you having a good week?  Are you eating an apple a day to keep me away? Obviously not, or you would have never received this newsletter.

(If you indeed are eating an apple everyday and received this email by mistake we apologize.  Please simply hit "Reply", your email will be returned free of charge, and your name will be added to the Walk with a Doc Dean's List or President's List depending on how many apples you consumed last week.  If you ate enough apples, you probably won't be replying to anyone.  You will probably be "using the facilities".)


("Here he goes again with his potty humor Larry?! For Pete's sake the man's a professional with a family.  What do you think his children say?! I can only imagine! They must just walk around that house of theirs just passing gas and laughing at each other.  The whole situation disgusts me.")


On a very serious note, in regards to Haiti - we are speechless.  If you are interested in helping, here is a "safe" list pulled from msnbc.com. (http://tinyurl.com/yjy8csy).

 
WWAD Proudly Teams with Mid-Ohio Foodbank
Mid-Ohio Food Bank Mid-Ohio Foodbank

(For the full story please visit www.walkwithadoc.org)

Walk with a Doc is excited to announce our involvement in the Feeding America Pound for Pound Challenge! Now in its second year, this proven fund-raising program has partnered with NBC's The Biggest Loser and General Mills to encourage Americans to "Lose Nationally, Feed Locally".  We need your support to make our involvement a success.

Christina Christian, of the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, will be present to briefly discuss the program and answer questions at the January 23rd walk.
 
On February 20th, we will be having our Saturday walk in their very hip  massive new warehouse. More on this to come.

Our Executive DirectorTwenty Ten
 
What an exciting time to be alive.  We now have the opportunity to name our year "Twenty Ten" as opposed to the labor-intense, trivially less hip "Two Thousand and Ten." (...he's used 'hip' twice now! he must be very image concious)
 
In Accordance with Walk with a Doc (WWAD) Amendment 24, Part B, Code 2y, Statute 47, regulation 13a -
 
"Accepted terminology (when referring to the year 2010), while attending an Official Walk with a Doc event, will be "Twenty Ten".  Any participant (of WWAD) inadvertently wasting two (2) syllables by using the incorrect verbiage of "Two thousand and ten" will politely be asked to "rephrase his/her statement" by fellow participant. 

If the appropriate correction is not made at given time, the alleged perpetrator will be placed on Double Secret Probation ("Zero...Point...Zero") for the remainder of given event.  If the offender displays remorse with intention of change, he/she will be forgiven without further action and immediately welcomed back into the group.

If, however, there is no evidence of regret, given walker will be asked to wear University of Michigan Football branded clothing at the two (2) subsequent walks they attend (such clothing to be supplied to offender free of charge)."
 
Walk with a Doc Founder, David Sabgir, was approached for comment. 

"Dr. Sabgir - are you really that bored that you have the time to create an asinine rule that belittles a high-ranking academic institution in a stupid make-believe amendment?
 
"I'm sorry. I was so busy enjoying this absolutely delicious Fuji Apple Pear SoBe Light Lifewater that I must have missed what you said.  Please repeat the question?"   (Hey Larry, this SoBe Lifewater must be a sponsor! This guy knows no shame! Those poor, poor kids. They don't even have a shot. )
 
 
This Saturday
In the Food Court Polaris Fashion Place
Saturday, January 16th at 8:30 - meet in the Food Court. We have all the people, coffee, refreshments, smiles, and sphygmomanometers that you are used to seeing. 

BTW, thank you Dr. Sommer for your leadership last weekend.  The telomere lengthening you discussed is fascinating research looking at how exactly exercise slows aging.
 
Keep walking. Keep running. Keep swimming (inside). Keep biking (probably inside as well).  Keep whatevering.  We need you around to read many, many more newsletters.
 
See you Saturday,
 

David
