Congratulations Mick Cornett

It was about 10 years ago and I was at a local dining establishment in OKC with a relative and we saw a local celebrity. It was Mick Cornett, who at the time, was a sports anchor for channel 5. I basically grew up watching him on TV and when you only see someone from the chest up, you don't have a good idea of what they look like other than their face. Well, I was surprised at how heavy he was.

Fast forward to 2007/2008
Mayor of Oklahoma City, Mick Cornett has lost his weight, looks great and is encouraging my great home city to do the same. I for one, commend him for this crusade. He's not trying to bring "big brother" into people's lives, like some may fear, but is using his office to encourage people to make better choices in their lives. I, for one, hope he succeeds and Oklahoma City loses 1 million pounds and becomes one of the more healthy cities in the country.

Kudos to you, Mr. Mayor.
