    Agreed. At the Pilates studio I used to go to one of the students would bring her yellow lab. Alma is a therapy dog at the hospital I work at (she even has her own employee badge). My teacher said they only had one incident, Alma couldn't resist one of the small balls and popped it when she tried to pick it up.

    I think Mr. Spock (our 13 yr old Tibetian Terrier) would be great with the pant-pant-pant part of labor! Mostly I want him to just hang out in the call room so I can come and hang out with him.

    I LOVE China Kitchen's Combination Lo-Mein. I eat and eat and eat, and the quantity does not seem diminished. Hmmmmm...

    For fun, go back and read the early days of TD. I miss Nanci.

    It's just fun to see how TD developed in the beginning. Knot was in a miserable relationship, and then she was free...and now she's happy with Trek...Fish Dr. became Bee Dr....snapdragen was always handy with the quick reply....I was single and treating you all to my match.com adventures...and Nanci was forever getting a new turtle or snake and teaching us herpetological stuff. I'm remembering those days fondly.

    Today I had another first. I have worked in the same place for 30 years and i've lived in 3 houses within a few miles of each other; so i've had the same commute for 30 years.
    I've never walked. Today I walked the 4 miles home!
    I discovered that this commute is even worse to walk than it is to bicycle.
    For roughly 1/2 of the 4 miles, there was no sidewalk or the sidewalk that was there was so overgrown with weeds that i had to wrassle with blackberries and pull grass seeds out of my socks!
    It was fun though. I found a 1/15 of a dollar bill. and a wrench

    Wow- how adventurous, Mimi! I often alternate my walking and my biking- the walking really helps my hip joints and my spine in ways that biking simply cannot. Most of my usual walks are about 4 miles too. Good for you!
