BTW Melody, how are YOU doing lately? Much better, I hope. And thanks for your thoughts.

Duck, I'm doing ok though I'm getting over a 2.5 day migraine and somehow I've gotten a cold. :/ I missed 3 days of work which kind of sucks since I'm now behind in several projects but I'll get back.

The big thing that's going on right now is that as of today my doctor has put me on insulin. I've known I was diabetic since I was 18 (though I was diabetic way before then). Unfortunately, my glucose control just isn't what it used to be. We've tried modifying my meds to try to avoid having me go on insulin but at this point my body just doesn't make insulin like it used to so he has added it to my medication mix. He still has me on my other diabetic meds since I also have insulin resistance.

We're starting me at 10 units and increasing by 2 each day until my glucose readings starting showing normal. Right now, I only take this specific insulin before bed.

Hi folks.
On the tenth of this month it'll be three months since the accident that took Kathy's life.
There have been numerous dedications (songs, local landpaths event, etc.) in her memory.
The ghost bike memorial now sits in our front yard as the city was going to take it down due to neighbors at the accident area complaining.

I've been riding alot.
I met a sweet lady (on New Year's day) (triathlete & marathon runner) whom I've been riding, running and hanging out a bit with.
Biking is her weakest tri-sport, and even though she's 5' even and petite, I have to push to keep up with her on hills. Kathy used to make me work too, so I like that. To be able to keep up I've set some 2007 goals including the Terrible Two (again) and the Leadville 100.

Kathy's memory will not leave me anytime soon. She'll be with me on rides for a long time to come. I like to think she helped me find this special pal.

Maury, it's good to hear you're healing a bit and getting out and riding in this incredible weather we've been having. My thoughts are with you as you move ahead in your life. Kathy will always be with you.

Maury,
Good vibes coming your way. A strong and loving heart will guide you through almost anything. Keep embracing the sweetness of memories and also the unexpected joys of life's continually twisting journey.

Hey Cuz,

It's good to hear from you (yes, TE of course we e-mail from time to time). And yep, those tri-athlete babes are incredible

I can't keep up with either of you two but let's try to do a ride. I'm sure I could keep up with the recovery meal at least.
