Surviving CES and MacWorld

Dick survived a less crowded but still very busy CES, and Leo fooled them again with his keynote at MacWorld Expo.

Lose It!

Kathleen sends for best wishes to Dick for his downsizing of the Gadget Warehouse, and for Leo's downsizing, she recommends an iPhone app called Lose It.  It uses the same database for creating nutrition labels for food packaging.  Dick doesn't need it, as he exercises for 20 minutes a day, walks a lot and goes to the gym.
