I ride with my kindergartner and 1st grader every day. And if the first grader gets his way we take the long way via the trails

The elementary school just .5 mile away doesn't even have a bike rack. My next door neighbors drive the kids to and fro school every day. Makes me sad. The middle school and high school this neighborhood attends are on the other side of a busy, dangerous road. Even though it's less than 2 miles, I wouldn't let even a teenager ride there in rush hour traffic. No wonder KY comes off so poorly in rankings of health and activity levels.

But I'm glad to hear things are better elsewhere!

I'm not sure. I guess I would have to ride by a school to really know.

However I'm amazed to see a mother and her 2 daughters cycling somewhere whenever I finish work. It is anywhere on/near a longish bike path by the city core downtown. Younger daughter is on the back-end of her tandem. While older one is biking by herself.

And get this: the mother is cycling with kids in ice, snow and -25 degrees C!! This is REALLY tough and quite cold. Because some of those winter icy days, I'm just walking homeward.

I hit a milestone last week! I had yet another clear mammogram, so now I only need to go once a year!
I feel like framing the letter from the radiologist.

I love being normal.

I love you being normal, too. That's awesome, Red. I'm so, so happy for you!

I think some new shoes and cake are in order btw!

Has anybody heard from Pax lately? She usually checks in here and there, but I haven't seen any updates from her in a long time. Pax, if you're following along at home, check in with us soon!

[Crankin]

Didn't she get upset about a comment and stated she wouldn't post anymore?
Maybe I am confusing her with someone else. It seems like she stopped posting, started again, and then stopped.
Congratulations, Red! How about some new red shoes?

OK this is selfish but I have to vent ... next weekend is this big music festival, we've had tickets for months, and now FIL has had a heart attack, DH is going out there today, and although we don't know the prognosis yet, given his age it's not likely to be positive. All I want to do is spend next weekend listening to some really great live music with DH and now it's probably not going to happen.

I hate being so self centered but it is like literally the only thing I have been wholeheartedly looking forward to in over a year.
