I'll be ok, gang; just have some work on my end to do.

Today is my last day in Ohio. I don't know how I feel about this.

Thanks Owlie. Hugs to you, too. Leaving what has been one's home--even if an imperfect one--is difficult. Good luck. I hope you settle into Arizona with relative ease. What did you decide to do about moving your bikes?

Hope your move is uneventful and you settle in quickly. And ya know, if you get as homesick as I do when I'm away from Ohio too long ... we'll still be here when you're Dr. Owlie.

You will love Tucson.

My son is 31 today. I cannot really believe I have a child that old. I don't feel that old.

I feel your pain. I think it's the hardest when they reach their thirties. That's when it hits you; how fast time is going by. Then the grand kids come along and, whew. It starts going even faster. My oldest son will be 35 in January.

I was telling a friend of mine that my DH and I were having an anniversary dinner that night and she asked me how many years. I had to stop and think....hmmmm.... I thought maybe 35 or 36??? Then I started counting on my fingers. Holy crap, it was 38 years. That's nearly 40!! How did that happen?? Especially since I can't be more than 42 years old or so..,. Wait... (Counts on fingers again). Never mind. :-)

I'm pretty sure hell will freeze over before marriage equality happens here in Texas. I don't need the piece of paper to validate my relationship, but it would be nice even it comes to medical, inheritance, etc.

And we've agreed we're getting serious about diet and exercise as soon as our eldest goes back to college in January.

I hear you. I realize I'm healthier than most of her other patients, but my goals are a bit more than just 'not being sick.' Since my close family has an alarming history of heart disease with very few symptoms
I like to keep on top of things.

Both my internist and my ob/gyn are cyclists!

re looking tan and being healthy- right unless your doctor starts lecturing you about sun screen and skin cancer.

Whenever the nurse takes my pulse and bp she always has to do it twice to "make sure I'm alive."

One of the times I fell the ER doctor wanted to keep me in overnight and run all sorts of cardio tests becuse of my bp and heart rate. I finally convinced him to call my regular MD and talk to her . He ket going on about my "circle of willis being starved" and that I was obviously brachyocardic.

My regular Dr. is a sensible older Irish woman who says as long as I don't have to "shift the coffin lid in the morning to get out of bed" that I am doing well.

I am very sorry to read of your loss, sending hugs and prayers. Very glad to hear of the good VA experience.

Crankin so sorry to read about your dad. Glad that you got to get out for visits this summer.

Thanks.
Riding to work cleared my head. I'm fine. In Boston to see our first theatre of the season.
