Lise- you are becoming quite the popular woman. A professor and a southern gentleman, both wooing you.

CC- Ah whine and chocolate, two of my favourite foods.

Maillotpois-Congrats on the half-way point! I wrote in the thread how you are my inspiration. I will be brave and tell my neurologist I plan to train for a tri. He will freak out.

KnottedYet- sorry about the Haz-Mat team being next door. Hopefully they are finished before SKnot comes home.

Not much new here. I faint too often for my liking. It is the d*mn medicine to make my vessels all happy. The neurologist failed to mention that part. He could have mentioned it when he banned me from driving. So, no biking outside-fainting and outdoor biking are not a good mix, at least not for me. I have my trainer in a nice, safe place. Usually I know right before I am to pass out. So far, so good.
On a happy note, my Ibex hat arrived to day and it is lovely. More of an eggplant colour than fuchsia. It is very soft and a cheerful colour.
