Perspective makes those garbage trucks and power mowers less of a
nuisance, doesn't it :)
Welcome home Sindi. The fiance sends his best wishes also.

Not in a position to carpool just yet-- but I would consider it a
great achievement if I did do it.

My 7 year old learned to ride a bike today. There are pictures (and a
couple of movies) available at http://jep.tonster.com/photoalbum/bike
if you're interested.

Jim cut my hair so I can wash it faster while trying to stand up long enough
to shower. I stood up long enough to shower - don't need to bathe with wet
washcloths. We determined the best thing to sit on while drying is a
thermarest seat - quite a lot of padding in 1.5" - so it is now also on the
chair (it was on the toilet seat and shower seat) Finally found something
comfortable to sit on when I have none of my own padding.
Jim found a way to make the futon couch lie flat as a couch.

John rode 2-3 miles on a bike trail today, with me following him. He
has certainly taken to his bike! Great, great weekend.

This sounds like he switched from the trail-a-bike. I am impressed with a
kid his age riding that far. Hope to join you on the trail again next year
(probably not sooner). I never would have imagined what a nice place Tecumseh
is before we visited - lovely 12 mile bike trail, perfect swimming hole (quiet
park with a clean pond in it). I wish Ann Arbor had the same.

I learnt to balance on a bike at the ripe old age of 26 :P
I finally got some pictures on my web-site. They're of my cat. They can be
viewed at http://www.themynx.com/images/Mynxie/mynxiepics.html.

Yes, John's adventures on a bike this weekend were on his own bike, not
on the Trail-a-Bike. Maybe by next spring I'll be looking for a new
home for the Trail-a-Bike.

Jim has accomplished what we thought we would never accomplish - found a home
for our three best top-tube (men's) bikes that he decided he does not want
to ride because he cannot get on and off them with things piled up behind him.
Our doctor friend took the one with the shock absorber for his teenage son,
and the Cannondale 700 mm touring bike and the aluminum frame Raleigh bike.
He bikes to work at the hospital and had an old cheap bike. The Raleigh is
better on the sort of road surface currently between here and the hospital
(wide tire). Jim also has a Gary Fisher to put together for him. We could
not find a buyer for any of these in the Freebies (all no-shows) and are
delighted they went to a friend. (He tried to insist on paying!). This is
the doctor who put me in the hospital recently, none too early. So I now no
longer have a building site full of bicycles (just computers and other junk).
Two more bikes to go to Kiwanis, one for a neighbor, a few frames to give to
someone else who does what we were doing, and we are down to three usable
bikes each and some free space. Except Jim found another bike at the curb
(for Kiwanis) and a battery operated electric power mower and a nice stainless
sink with a built-in drainboard so there goes my back yard again. And yet
another HP 500 series printer that works.... (for the book list). What I need
for him to find is a well padded chair with back support and no fleas.

I wish I had fix-it folks like you in my area.
The gaming organization I am a part of (the Camarilla) is doing a
Children's Drive for the Regional Drive this month. We'll be donating
children's items. Since I was working on a list of non-profit
organizations people here in the area could donate to for waste
management purposes at work, I had some specific organizations I was
able to recommend to my local domain.

I successfully performed MacSurgery today, replacing the broken hinges on
the lid of my PowerBook G3.
See http://upstageleft.net/g3hinge/ for some details and pictures.

Bike ride yesterday from Stadium & Liberty out to Dexter-Huron metropark,
probably around 20 miles but I can't find my big Ann Arbor map to check.

Yesterday after sitting around (as opposed to lying around) for a few hours
at the cancer center I stayed on my feet for 20 minutes (a quarter for
parking) at the public library and walked at least 500 feet. Not quite ready
to bike but I can feel the muscles that I used. I should try walking outside
between here and the corner some day soon.
I can walk to the kitchen and feed myself pears (my hands are cooperating
enough to core them now). I can thread a needle on the 10th try and mend
things if you don't care what they look like. I can put clean laundry away
if it does not involve a hanger (best to leave one hand free to grab at the
wall if needed).
