Salsa - if you end up on a gluten adventure (which gets worse with stress, by the way. Hmmm, have you been in stressful conditions lately? ) be sure to contact OffTheGrid and I. We'd be happy to be your guides!

Just wanted to say "thank you" for that offer! I'll let you know how it turns out.



What me stressy?

CWR - did you have a cast? I had both feet done waaay back in '78 and had casts up to my knees on both feet for at least a month. I just remember how painful it was the first couple of days in the hospital. I'm guessing they've improved the procedure since then?

KG i have one of those black moon-boot looking cast things that i can take on and off. i don't wear it more often than i do. i have it on if i'm going to be up for a long time or going somewhere. or if i try to put any weight on my foot i make sure the cast is on. i've been trying to put about 1/3 of my weight on it. any more and it gets a little sore.

what i think is neat is they gave me a cyro cuff. highly recommend it. brought it to work with me today to help with the swelling and pain.

a wonderful day at the office. no one is around. they all went to a city crisis meeting so its only me. glad i didn't go though, listening to the rain and wind outside, glad i don't have to put up with it!

Hiya CC, how's the frozen North?

[crazycanuck]

The frozen north? I'm in the summery southern hemisphere!!!

I think the frozen north isn't so frozen at the moment. My dad emailed me & said there's not much snow in Calgary atm..

HOw's Chi-town? Is that a nickname for Chicago?

If we ever decide where we're going on our trip, we may just be flying via Chicago...
*mumble* decision *mumble*

Sorry bout that, I saw "Canuck" and assumed you were currently frozen solid. So is it nice and toasty warm where you are??

I'm 130 miles south of Chicago and it's COLD!

[kelownagirl]

Well it's cold and snowy here in Kelowna today. Been snowing all day and is supposed to continue for at least another day. It's pretty though, and not super cold (-5 c?)


CC - I understand the travel planning dilemma as dh and I try to decide how we are going to spend our month in France/ Denmark in July. I hardly know where to start, but it's fun! Of course, I'm not trying to sneak in a secret trip like you are. Or does he know now? I think you said he did...

[Fredwina]

With the weather in America(the continent) lately, who knows? I did'nt ride this morning beacause I kept running into Ice patches yesterday from people leaving their sprinklers on overnight. Turns out, it did not get that cold , plus I get ride in the daylight tommorrow well, hopefully. I've got a hair appt. and then I have to talk to a job recuiter who sent me an unsolicted e-mail. don't much about the postion right now, but it is a company that has a good reputation to work for. The only problem is that might wind with an even longer commuttee....

[crazycanuck]

It's a booteaful day in da neighbourhood..won't you be mine, won't you be my neighbour..

Slips on some funky shoes & speak to the kids..(without the swear words..)

It's about 25c here & it's going to be a very nice weekend. Lots of biking planned..I must keep you guys busy by making you envious that you're in a cold climate & can't bike..

Queen, i'm a Canuck..just transplanted in a warm place!

I am SO envious Crazy! We got another 6" of snow today and more on the way..... I love the snow, but I am looking forward to spring this year like I have for no other. This is my first winter as a cyclist. I miss my poor bike...

[Pax]

Bump!


Am I the only one who gets "girly" about their bike accessories not looking crappy? I want to add fenders and a rack to my hybrid to make it a commuter and all I can find is ugly black fenders. My bike is a gorgeous blue and silver...black fenders just won't do.

[kelownagirl]

Mine is a gorgeous blue and silver too, and I agree, I like things to match it. I'm not a girly-girl by any stretch of the imagination, except for this one thing.
