Winter Get Together??

[Crankin]

You could ski the trail. It's better when the snow is fresh for that. Personally, I like skiing on groomed trails, but I've a done a bit of trail breaking in my skis.

Cathy, I am feeling better. I don't know whether it's the acupuncture or the medication. I'm still not totally better; sometimes I doubt the diagnosis. My primary care doc has me going for a pulmonary function test and an echo cardiogram, since I mentioned those were the only 2 areas that I haven't been tested in. Yes, I have asthma, but that hasn't been an issue since last winter and I guess she wants the check to check the benign heart murmur I have. All I can say is that she hasn't done much and the rheumatologist at least listens. Of course, he's a cyclist. I'm not having any bone pain/rheum symptoms, only the weird pain in the cartilage in my ear and throat and the ear ringing. And that is not all of the time. Well enough about me.

Mudmucker - hang in there! Don't overdo.

Robyn - who is your rheumotologist? DH was just to one in Concord last week, and FINALLY diagnosed with a form of arthritis.

I should be able to make it. I've got evening events on the 19th and 26th but morning and early afternoon should work. I can bring 3 or more pairs of snowshoes if anyone needs to borrow.

Cathy, my rheumo.'s name is Martin Kafina.
, OK Deb. I will put you down for the weekend of the 26th

I'll be in Albany 1/19, and Wisconsin 1/26 & 2/2, DH has already committed us for 2/9 (don't tell the kids), and I'll be back to Wisconsin 2/16. Too bad, I would really like to try snowshoes.

Get the snowshoes, Jean. You can just go out anywhere and get a good work out!
Did you retire yet?

Did you guys decide on the Sat. or the Sun.?
I would like to join in... the Sat. works better for me.
Maybe I can get redrhodie to come with me...

OK, it looks like Sunday is better for me and a couple of others. I figured that we would start the hike from my house at about 11 AM. So that means getting to Concord by 10:45. I have no idea of course, if there will be enough snow to snow shoe, but we can definitely hike. It's about 4 miles, nothing hard.
So, I will take a final count next Friday night when I get home from Vermont. Then I will PM or email directions to my house and we can decide about food.
I will probably take my lap top with me to Vermont, but I am not sure if there's Internet access.

Have a good week and post here if you want to come.
