One hundred and ninety-nine years ago today Capt. William Clark climbed up on an enourmous rock near today's Billings, Mt. He named it Pompey's Pillar and carved his named into the stone alongside some Indian pictographs. Today it's the only remaining physical evidence of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
Capt. Clark probably would have been humored if knew that in 2005 a slightly demented Lewis & Clark enthusiast was going alcohol free to honor the 15 months the Corp of Discovery went without grog.
As I complete my third week of my Lewis & Clark Abstinence Reenactment, things are going very well. The numbers speak for themselves. My blood sugar readings the last 5 nights have been: 101, 107, 102, 110 and 105. That's amazing when you consider I was 343 when first diagnosed last November. And my blood pressure is now under control without medication. 115/74 this morning.
Here's to Lewis & Clark who 200 yrs ago put me on today's path to better health.
