Greetings all

It's kind of windy today but no rain yet. It is on the way for tonight I think. Probably should be ready for a power outage which occurs when someone sneezes around here. Power company is really lousy.

So I started the morning with a studio zoom meeting of the board. Things are going pretty well and not much controversy. People are pestering me to teach them raku firing again which I have not felt up to but I will try if I am certain I can get help with the physical aspects. It requires enough agility to remove an 1800 degree item from an open kiln using tongs and getting it into a trash can of combustible material. Used to do it all the time. Oh well.

And last night's gallery meeting was not too bad so no *****ing here. The annoying person running for office has a challenger who will be good. So all is well in my little world.

Spent some time at the studio today. Made owls.

Liz that vacation spot looks so fabulous. Perfect. But what do you do without a dingy? Paddle? What a super relaxing trip.

Peps 6 teachers for 500 kids? Thats like 3 cowboys to manage a stampede. Best of luck. Yes I have always thought your schedule was enormous and you do a lot. Full time job plus the dog show circuit. Plus grooming. Soon you will own your time and your mind and your energy. Bet you can't wait.

DD do you still have controversy club?

So Paula the exercise snack article was on a CNN newsletter. You can go to CNN website and see it. Interesting discussion to the effect that even these mini exercise sessions can lower cancer risks and such. I used to think that if I can't do a half hour that it was pointless but that is not true. Today I got my "snack" at he gym as the elevator is still broken. I also get one by doing squats while my eggs cook.

CC post a pic of the new outdoor furniture. You have a roof deck!!!!! How cool. Balloon viewing gallery. (auto correct typed "baloney"}

Well the shredded chicken got delayed until tonight. We shall see how good it is.

It's usually AFTER 24 hours post workout that the soreness will hit for me. Give yourself until late tonight or tomorrow for the sore to kick in!

Liz, your vacation pictures are fabulous! Looks like so much fun!

128.5, pretty darn consistent here in maintenance. I am feeling a little food noise creep in and some more hunger at the 2 mg dose. Still able to keep calories at 1100 without much effort. I wish my increased exercise would allow for a little more wiggle room calorie wise, but that does not appear to be the case!

Cut and color this morning and then I did my 40 minute treadmill workout at 3.6 mph and grades between 4 and 6%. Surprisingly I'm not too sore from my Biggest Loser boot camp workout yesterday! This afternoon I will continue my prep for leading Bible study tomorrow morning!

Leftover corned beef and cabbage dinner tonight, easy peasy!

85 kids to supervise is insane! I hope you at least get a similar age group!

Im impressed with either a 32 or 34 inch waist for a 61 year old man! You are looking great!

I have spring fever. I just ordered a bunch of plants online. We have a couple of nurseries here, but not a lot of variety. And I'm ready for flowers! I'm also about ready to pull the trigger on a load of new outdoor furniture. My current stuff is in good shape, but there's not nearly enough of it and it's the wrong style for this house, sort of traditional... Italianate? I may move it to the roof deck. This yard needs modern and a lot of it. But it's a lot of money and I've been dragging my feet for going on three years...

Tonight there's an art opening at the art center, and I'm going with my two friends and then we're going to dinner after. Should be fun! Kirby also needs his walk.

there are 80° temperatures in the 10 day forecast, which also may be influencing my spring fever. I think that may be all I know! Hope everyone is well. Liz, glad you're having a great time. Peps, I'm sending you cat herding mojo - sounds like you're going to need it!
