Feeling better

After two weeks of it, I'm feeling pretty much better. It occurred to me that people recover from surgery or heart attacks quicker than I've gotten over this cold, but that's the way it's been. After not having so much as a cold for more than 10 years, to have three or four in rapid succession this year culminated by this monster really laid me out.

Anyway, I'm getting better, as David would put it, I'm about 75% now. I got out yesterday for a walk for the first time in those two weeks. Walked down to the ocean and sat on the bench a while. Today, I walked to the sound and then to the ocean and back, about a mile altogether and it felt really good to get out in the fresh air.

The weather here is just about as perfect as February gets. It's in the low 50's, sunny, with hardly any wind, just a light southwest breeze. Yesterday there were lots of swans on the sound, and Hilda took some pictures of them. They weren't in our neighborhood today, but the ocean was georgeous, hardly a ripple except for a gentle shore break and a few dolphins lazily patrolling the surf outside the bar. Tried to get a picture of one, but you know how that is the only picture I got of a dolphin was just a black spec in an otherwise uninteresting picture.

We're heading over to Jenni's house later this afternoon to watch the super bowl. I'll probably pull for the underdog Giants, even though I could really care less about who wins a football game. Sean called this morning from Bancock to be sure we were on track to pick them up on Wednesday afternoon. All three of them have been kind of puny, travel does that sometimes I guess. I'm sure we'll get a full report when they get home.

I guess that's all for now, enjoy the pics.
