Greetings all.

Up bright and early this morning – used the neck contraption that is supposed to help put the curve back into my neck – surprisingly, my neck always feels better when I’ve used the thing! Rode the stationery bike for 45 minutes – averaging 17-18 mph – 12.75 miles. Still a bit chilly in the early am (5-5:30ish) to walk outside, but it is getting closer. I can feel it.

?

yup – not quite this warm, really. This is on a building close to where I work – a week ago I couldn’t stand it when the thing said it was 116 degrees. 116 degrees – in Kenai, Alaska, friends! Yeah, I think not. 😉 (yes, I know it says 112 – by the time I pulled into the driveway and got my camera out it had gone down 4 degrees – drat it all)

So, I took the pic above and sent it in to KTUU tv weathercaster Scott Elnes – and he showed it on Monday last. That’s the second of my pics that I have seen him use. I’ve sent a couple others and he may have used them, but likely not yet. Said this morning that they have quite a backlog of them for now.

the correct temp? Sure, I can show you that, too. Taken less than a quarter mile down the road from the first pic:

?

Ummm – yeah, that’s more like it – 41 degrees. 😉 Today it is supposed to get near 50. Yay! Spring is here. The snow in the yard is gone – Yay again. Hubby has been out on his motorcycle once. Mine is sitting there waiting for me – just need to find the time and the strength to go. Still tired in the evenings, but it is getting better. I did take a nap between church services yesterday – which is much better than taking a nap? DURING church services. Ha. Felt so much better having done that. We may have to look into taking the grandkidlets shopping on Saturday evenings from now on so this old moose can get a nap on Sundays. Well, we will see.

Have a delightful day, everyone. Remember those around you who might be suffering some upset or illness in their life. Give them a smile or two – you’ll be surprised at how quickly the smiles will come back to you. It’s just like putting them into a bank and earning interest.

A friend of mine in Ohio sent me the link to Chris Valentine’s website, Having Faith. I have just spent a couple of hours reading from the beginning to today’s entry. In January 2006 he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and is at Stage IIB. I confess to not knowing exactly what all that means.

But, due to some family connections, this site means much to me and I have found Chris’ faith and straightforwardness about his illness both refreshing and thought provoking.

I hope you will read Chris’ site and I hope you will keep him in your prayers. This young man is the son of my best friend’s friend and coworker.

Sort of puts a lot of other stuff in perspective.

night, friends

If you’d like to comment and find that you cannot, you owe it all to the following:
David, Edward, Anny, John, Ann, Michael, Kelly, Paulo, Lemat, Halz, Shawn, Mark, Dirk, and Antony . . . just to name a few. But hey! They like my site, you see?

Email me if you wanna say hello. Know that I know that you know that I’m here. Sorry about this, but taking upwards of two hours to delete spam is way too much.

but look at just how much they like me . . . or ther phentermine or klonopine they’re touting while attempting to soothe the savage beast in me with their flattery – poorly worded and severely lacking in grammar skills though they be . . .

I can’t be bothered with anything these days, but such is life. I don’t care. So it goes. More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. I’ve just been hanging out waiting for something to happen, but that’s how it is. (dude! you need 1-800-SUICIDE!!!!)

A Reflection
Scavenger Hunt Challenge #2, Week 4 of 13
Week beginning 4.22.06
Photos Due by 4.28.06

BONUS POINTS AVAILABLE:
1 pt. if you are in the reflection.

I decided to try this as I believe my children and grandchildren are a reflection on me – there’s a WHOLE LOTTA me in all of them – blonde, blue-eyed, apple cheeked babies.I’m the one in the glasses – clockwise from there: The Boy, The Girl, Lessa (their Mama – my daughter), The Pup?

We were lying on the floor – head to head – while Paw-Paw Moosie held a mirror over us and I took several shots. Phew! We were warm when we finished.
