Type 2 Curmudgeon

Born and raised in the South, Walt Raleigh now lives in New York City, where he works in the IT industry, counts carbs and calories, and searches in vain for a decent barbecue sandwich. Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, Walt tries to hit the gym every day and feels guilty when he doesn't, but consoles himself and mollifies his endocrinologist by taking long walks in his neighborhood with his two dogs and/or his wife, not necessarily in that order.
