So I�ll thru my �mask� into the ring � 66 GY after 33 treatments! And I sure hope that number doesn�t go any higher!

I try my best to help people understand the dangers of smoking. I just recently spoke to a group of high school student leaders who work in their schools to promote change. Amazing that these teenagers have changed their school's policies about allowing workers to smoke while on school grounds and making the penalties for students caught with tobacco tougher. I have a health fair coming up soon at a local university. Since that will be an older crowd, I will get to educate them alot more. they are going to hear all about not just anti-smoking but about HPV and the Guardisil shot too. PS.... I could be a bronze winner at 35 radiation treatments. Sorry but I dont remember the GYs. Im certain there are others who are up there too.

As a government lawyer, I excelled at finding "loopholes" to make sure Justice was done. A little known fact (okay, little did I know it) is the the IOC (International Olympic Committee ) does award two bronze medals in the competitions of Boxing, Judo, Taekwondo, and Wrestling. So the precedent is set and approved . By the powers vested in me, by me, I hereby declare that Paul B is awarded a BRONZE MEDAL in the Charm GY Olympics
Disclaimer: The Charm GY Olympic Medals are purely imaginary, and not endorsed or approved by either OCF or the IOC. They have no monetary value and accordingly no tax liability.
