Return to Starbucks
For the second day in a row I was able to walk as far as Starbucks and back. A total of about 45 minutes walking, at my present rehab pace. This is a quantum leap over my 5-min walklets

Dave, David, Bill, Carol, thanks buds! It sure felt good to be able to walk that far, and the coffee was good too :-)

I know what you mean, Gene. Getting over my anemia after all the chemo was such an incredible feeling. It's so good to have a normal flow of O2.
Gene Wilburn (49 months ago | reply)
Dave, I didn't know you'd been through chemo. I've heard that's a rough go. I hope all is well now.

Gene, you're too modest to reveal that after your marathon walks you successfully rebuilt my wife's PC from scratch!!
(For which we are most grateful!!)

Well done Gene! It's good to see that you're getting back to being able to enjoy some more of the small pleasures that are so important.
I've always been a fan of fountain pens (no better writing implement has been devised, but its getting more difficult to get suitable quality paper for them), and now thanks to your example I've taken the Moleskine plunge - a diary in my case but I think a notebook-journal is a great idea.
Gene Wilburn (49 months ago | reply)
Earl, would that make the baristas charladies :-)
Midori, welcome to the world of Moleskine! There are so many sizes and styles, it's tempting to try them all.

WooHooo Gene!!!
Glad to see that you were able to get to your favorite spot and enjoy a "tall bold" .....I prefer tall blondes. LOL :o))
We have to plan a little meet-up here soon.
Danny :o)
Gene Wilburn (49 months ago | reply)
Thanks Danny. I look forward to buying you a cuppa.

Great going Gene! Beautiful picture.
Tried a Moleskine a few months ago and now I'm hooked. I buy the kind with the graphing paper so I can also write sideways.
Gene Wilburn (49 months ago | reply)
Fernando, thank you. They're addictive. That's a good idea you have there -- I'll have to try one of the graphing types next!

Lovely shot, and that Moleskine entry makes it all the better!
Gene Wilburn (49 months ago | reply)
Thank you ashxc.
