Hi Deb, Josie, Jen, and Linny--

I did GS BShBi today. My knee doesn't feel so bad, so maybe it's improving.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Predictably, the weather here is cold, rainy, dark, gloomy. Hogwarts on a bad day. I'm wearing a sweater I finally finished knitting, though. Looks pretty good.

Jen, was your friend goading you into proving you could help him?

Josie, I bet you cannot wait to see the new grandson. How far away are you from San Diego? Are the fires still a danger out there?

Deb, I agree with Josie--a half pound lost is an achievement for women over 50. Everything has slowed down--metabolically speaking--to a slow crawl in this body, anyway.

Have a great day everyone, and I hope the sun is shining for some of you.
