I'd seen that number and have found that pretty easy to hit in the city. Not sure when the weather gets more challenging!

I've been playing with some frequency. It had been a long time since I had an instrument to use, so I am very rusty. A bit of neuropathy in my little fingers is an extra impediment. The piano is all that I expected. It is probably more than I could justify based on who will be playing it most frequently, but you only live once. I've been rifling through the immense stacks of music I've accumulated over the years, picking out things that seem at least somewhat doable. There is a lot of satisfaction lurking there. Big Al

Hmmm. Maybe. Medicine is already moving that direction and I’m not sure that it’s positive. There’s a new emphasis on things that patients must do themselves, that don’t cost insurance companies any money, and don’t require actual treatment for anything. Or maybe it’s just my doctor.

Good news!

@CHAS said in It passed in the Senate: "We demand a repeal." Worked so well for the GOP with respect to ObamaCare (in terms of winning the House in the mid-term, not actually repealing the ACA).

FFS. We're talking about children being shot in the head and people lining up for bread being massacred. Enough.
