Default Butter Bob?

Don't know how many here follow Butter Bog Briggs on Youtube or Facebook, but his story is inspirational and his videos have been very instructional. And now I'm worried, because he hasn't posted anything since mid-October, after a bad calcium score test.

Anybody know anything?

Wouldn't know why he's been absent, but that's happened in the past as well. His calcium score, by the way, was excellent at 19. So, it's not the test result, as being under 100 is a good indicator for most, and a score of 19 must have been very inspiring to Bob.

Looking back in his blog, he took a bit of a hiatus last year at this time too. Posted in Aug. 2015, then early November 2015 .. then nothing until January this year.

I'm sure he's enjoying some holiday time with his family and loved ones

Thanks everyone. I'm really feeling the love today and I appreciate it very much.
BTW, I'm alive and physically well, but just had to take a step back from social media.
It is almost impossible to maintain a positive attitude if you spend a lot of time online these days. But, maybe instead of turning off the negative, I should fight the dark, by turning on more lights.
The song I posted today is an example of turning on the light. Three very nice people, I don't know and probably will never meet in this life - got together and did something nice for me.
Arguing diets, arguing politics or religion or any other controversial topic divides people even more than they already are and believe me, people are divided right now, worse than I've ever seen in my lifetime. Division is darkness, it just is.
We can turn on a light, we can unite people instead of divide them, with a simple kind word, or a small selfless act of charity. Simple acts of kindness are a powerful way to light up our world, one little candle at a time.
I hope every single person on this page will find something nice or uplifting to post on their own Facebook page today.

Thanks HappyLC,

I'd never heard of him until your OP.

I'm watching now.


He's great.

Three fans of Butter Bob have written a delightful song based "Butter Makes your Pants Fall Off and Lard Makes you Lean."
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B5S6YUDJ9HI

A wonderful tribute to Bob and he has posted a video response to it.

That song is great- wish I could save it on my phone to my workout playlists. My students would crack up!
