Archive for February, 2008
My big excitement this week was hauling my bike out to the beach and going for a ride along the oceanfront bike path.
Happy February 29th!
How quickly things can change.
This morning I was pacing the floor, wondering if I’d ever start working again, but this afternoon… well, I’m still pacing the floor but now I can safely say I’ll definitely be working again by March 12.
How is it that I’m able to predict my return to work with such accuracy?

I don’t normally shop at Ralph’s (one of the local big chain supermarkets).
