Welcome Home

Space Shuttle Discovery is home, safe and sound. They were diverted to Edwards Air Force Base, instead of landing at Kennedy Space Center. I followed the whole drama on Nasa TV.

Spring is coming, the weather is getting warmer. I've been feeding the cat, we've become good buddies. As the weather warms, he's getting shaggy with shedding hair... I worry that maybe he doesn't have a home to go to. He wolfs down the food I give him, and seems so starved for affection. Today at the grocery store, Stephen asked if I wanted to get some cat food. I replied "We don't have a cat", which was my way of saying that I'm getting too attached to the mangy little bugger.

Our workouts are going swimmingly. It's been difficult to work out a schedule of going, but we're managing to get there most days. I do know my knee is looking and feeling much better. The cold aggravates the arthritis, and it was swollen for weeks... just wouldn't go down, I could barely bend it. Last week, Esther added some new weight machines to my workout. One of them, which works the hamstrings, is completely indecent. I'm lying down, with my legs wrapped around a bar, bending it towards my bum... you get the picture. Or maybe it's just me being dirty-minded.
