I've been getting that since... well, since always.  I've
always been a bony ass.  My relatives all think I must be
unhealthy, but after all the lip flapping comes to an end,
not one of them will take me on in any footrace or any 
actual contest of strength/weight ratio, such as pull-ups,
push ups, rope climbing, even those 20 yrs my junior, the 
cowardly flabmeisters.  

Actually the popular press has come to my rescue to some
extent: there has been a loooot of ink spilled about how
CR is good for one's health.  When they read that news in 
the mainstream press, they realize that of all the family
members, it is bony old Greg (spike = Greg) who is still
climbing, hiking, running, non-diabetic, non-getting-sick, 
still doing just as much of all the stuff at 43 that I 
enjoyed at 17, with the cheerful addition of sex.
