Speaking of exercise bikes, on April 13th we are going to commemorate/ inaugurate the new exercise bikes at Swedish hospital. We raised enough $$$ for two bikes, one in the Pediatric ward, the other in the Oncology ward. And they're finally ready to go.

Yay, Mimi!!! You know, it's funny - but I think about you and Raleighdon way too much for 2 people I have never met. I read enough about his bike exploits (and I mean that in the best possible way) that sometimes when I don't feel like exercising, riding, whatever - it gets my butt out the door. He was and still is such an inspiration. It's a good thing, and I'm so grateful to you both for sharing as much as you have. Please continue sharing as you feel like it - about you and about him. I'm sure there are still good stories waiting to be told!

Blueberry, many people have said that about Donald. Even some of his doctors. As he was getting sicker, one of his doctors was getting on his bike BECAUSE OF Donald. we'd see the guy on the street and he'd say "I just wanted you to know I've dedicated THIS ride to you too"
I think that Donald finally understood (mostly) how important he was to people.

That's wonderful! I was wondering what became of that.

That's great, Mimi. Don definitely has a legacy that will live on and on in more ways than one. He's inspired a lot of people, many of whom he never met.

This article is about the status of women in the military and is mostly quotes from/about my DIL's experience. It was just published, although the research was done a few months ago.

Wow, Crankin. That's hard work.

This week cannot end fast enough. I've had way too many headaches at work. It seems like every time my boss goes out of town, we get flooded with emergencies, none of which are easy to sort out. The minute he walked out the door last Friday, it started. I had Monday off, but spent the morning sorting out one set of emergencies. The rest of the week has been devoted to several others. Of course, most of the emergencies were self-created by the attorneys involved, so that just adds to my irritation.

I realized last night that I totally spaced an appointment for a haircut yesterday evening. I've been "with" my stylist for 15 years, and in that time I've only missed two appointments, in part because I usually stay on top of my calendar (although iPhone's lousy calendar function doesn't help as much as my Blackberry's did), but also because the salon receptionist kindly always calls the day before to remind me. For both the appointments I've missed, I didn't get a reminder call. Now, I realize that it's my responsibility, but still. Grrrr. So, I need to call and grovel. And find time I don't have to reschedule.

And we're supposed to get 10 inches of snow on Sunday. Perfect.

Calgon, take me away.
