Well, Sort of Back...

When I returned from Peru, I was immediately engulfed in preparation for our annual Strategic Plan.  Well, the SR work had me doing long hours and even weekends for the first time in a long time. It meant this blog has been ignored, sorry! 

How am I doing? Overall, pretty well. I managed to get on my bike a few times but not nearly enough.  I also enjoyed a two night stay in Carmel at a friend's birthday party.  It was a lot of fun, especially since I managed to help some of my friend's friends crash the party by flying in from Maryland unannounced and uninvited.  The birthday girl was totally taken aback by the appearance of this lovely couple she had not invited because "they'll be unable to come."  Wrong!  

My friend, MaryR, had more surgery a few weeks ago.  It is related to her neck surgery from 2008 and the docs were very positive about how they got what they went in for. She was home in just 4 days and a week later (Sunday 11th) was driving and she met me for breakfast.  All in all, a pretty strong come back but she still has a lot of healing to do.  

Shawna is causing me some difficulty.  Ingrid reported Shawna was not eating and vomiting while I was in Carmel. Since then, it takes me about 30 minutes to coax Shawna to eat about 1/2 of her food at each feeding.  I haven't detected any vomiting and she is pretty good at not messing in the house but it still happens.  Mary was such a genius for putting tile floors down!  It really pays off when you have an old dog. 


As for Peru, I have not processed my pictures yet. But here is a link to postings from my fellow travelers.  Click here. 

Anyway, time to re-engage at work. 

Ciao!
