Hi, everyone,  I just thought I would share a book I stumbled on at Amazon…oddly enough it was listed on a list for the Kindle, but is not published for Kindle!  At any rate, 3 5-star reviews for…

This book is written by a physical therapist.  Obviously it espouses no particular system, but the reviewers seem [...]

I was sort of expecting to have to comment on all of your posts after three weeks’ absence and just found four, out of which only one actually described exercise done.
My last three weeks have been spent mostly in coaches, planes and trains, so I don’t have much exercise to account for.
I stretched [...]

Oh dear, time has slipped by and after reading what Lynn and Sara have been up to, I hang my head in shame.
After more than a month without rain it has drizzled or poured  ever since our friend arrived at the end of October. My son and daughter have taken her to Brussels and Amsterdam [...]

Last week,  any exercise time went to yard clean-up. I took the afternoon off on Monday 10/26–beautiful, sunny day and I wanted to soak up whatever daylight I could. Did leaf clean-up (multiple passes w/ the lawn mower, etc.) and some weeding/cutting back. Tuesday I was once again out w/ the mower in the late [...]

But like Lynn, I have let the time slip by without posting.  Have had a work crunch with a number of funerals, instituting a change in liturgy procedure  (Catholics are dreadful when it comes to handling change…), and Christmas planning.  Plus I discovered last week that the musician I was counting on to take my [...]

I’ve once again gone 3 weeks without posting. I have been exercising however. I don’t have a daily log (not very good at daily record keeping either) but I’ve managed to get in at least 1/2 hour walking or vigorous yard work 5 days each of the 3 weeks. Today I spent about an hour [...]

On Monday flowers were still blooming…

On Thursday my patio looked like this…

I will go out and take some photos later so you can see the dreadful effects of snow that comes too soon.  Most leaves were still on the trees, so many trees were weighted down and broken by this snow.  One rather near my [...]

Hello all, sorry for being so long (again).
September was chock full of medical  appointments for  the whole family – but mainly my husband with follow-up checks after a week in the diabetic unit and then a cataract operation.
My neighbour has been away quite a lot because it’s a sad time for her – birthday and [...]

Wanting not to beat myself up too much, I return without checking when I last posted.  However, it does seem from my little worn notebook that it was mid-August.  Oh, there was an amazing day August 26–10,969–followed by 9,264 the next day and a record 13,740 on August 28.  Hello, October 2009, from Portland, Oregon, [...]

Actually, the week before last and the first part of last week, I was doing just fine. Especially, considering the crazy mountain of work I was doing and the crises I was trying to master. Yet, like has happened far too often this year, my body crashed and I came down ill. Still, feeling much [...]
