    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!

    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?

    I think she stopped posting for a time when Mr. Bloom reappeared, but I think she's come back at least once since then. If memory serves, there was a lot going on in her life the last time she posted. Job issues and health issues with her mom. I just hope she's doing okay.

    ETA: It looks like she last posted in early February of this year. It seems like it's been longer than that, but perhaps she'll check in soon.

    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.

    I'm so sorry, Oak. I understand how you feel, and I don't find it self centered at all. Is it possible to go with a friend instead?

    I don't find it self centered at all. Most of us wouldn't admit to feeling this way, so +1. I agree with Indy. Even though you probably want to enjoy it with DH, can you find a friend to go with you?
    Hey, I went out to a planned dinner with friends and led a ride for my club when DH was in the hospital over a weekend, waiting for his angioplasty. He told me to go, but I know a few thought it was selfish.
