goose, are you in that motley crew? Is it roll playing, like reenactments of fables or fandom stuff?

Swashbuckling!

 

Nah, we are actually golfing buddies, but we get along great and have become good friends

What kind of bike? 

In 2020 and 2021 during all the pandemic restrictions, I rode my bike more than every before in my life. Some ignored Rush albums on my headphones, long rural roads watching the farm lands and hills roll by, it was very therapeutic!

 

It's a Trek FX 6 Sport. I rode again today despite the 45 degree weather and sprinkling rain but today I was prepared so it wasn't too bad. The bike is understated and looks rather plain but is anything but.

Admittedly, I used to look like a bit like Michael York

It was actually yesterday, but I survived colonoscopy! What I was very scared of weeks and weeks in advance was the preparation and if I would feel sick, not the colonoscopy itself. I'm so thankful that the nurse changed the medicine for PicoPrep, it didn't cause any side effects at all, and I actually felt great when I got to the hospital.

 

I was given a slight sedative. I didn't want any painkillers, and luckily there was no pain. It was astonishing to watch the insides of myself from the computer screen, they reminded of the vaults of a medieval cathedral. After seeing this I have a much greater appreciation for my intestines, and I think I will consider more of what I will give them to digest. Everything was fine, the doctors wanted to find out properly why I keep getting anaemia. A gastroscopy will take place in late May, but I've had it done once and I know I'll survive it this time as well.

 

But for now, I'm enjoying being allowed to eat again now that the colonoscopy is over.

You go Girl!!!!!

I am still waiting for the day, we'll see. No history and nothing to sound an alarm but I am getting to the "every two years" or so age.

A friend recently described the exact same thing - watching what is going on and realising the acres upon acres of places for a chicken nugget or another plate of french fries might linger. 

 

And I just looked up iron deficiencies (as one example). It's a wonder any of us retain iron at all!

Took a day with my son to go skiing in northern New Hampshire.  Beautiful conditions and no lift lines.  I knew it was going to be a great day when I walked down to guest services to get our lift tickets and Paul McCartney's Take it Away was playing on the PA.  Since he was little, we've made it a point to be among the last people down the mountain at the end of the day.  I used to do it to humor him because he's a "stayer."  Now we did it so I could wring out all the time I had with him.

You are a lucky man!
