Nobody home?
I'm wondering how you are all doing, in this very chilly January. It's 5F this morning, and not likely to get above freezing until next month here.
A real winter! Are you all keeping warm? That 100+ vehicle pile-up near Zeeland was amazing, not in a good way. People drive too close, especially on bad roads, what a mess! Glad we weren't there, and that nobody died.
@1muttsfan, how are you doing up there, where it's really been winter?

I was wondering too where everyone is. Been so quiet. Been staying in and keeping warm. Haven't gone on my daily walk with Smokey for a few days now. One reason is that I over-did it shoveling snow and the other the weather. Glad I have sore back for an excuse. Going to see if I can do the exercise bike today.

Mostly just hanging out in the house here. I haven't "closed my ring" on the fitness thing on my iphone a few days in the past seven. (Came on the phone; I didn't buy an app.)

So the next day after not closing it, a message comes up, "You didn't close your ring yesterday." The next line should be (but isn't): "Hey, are you ok? Did you hurt your back/knee/hip/ankle? Can I be more encouraging to inspire you?"

But at least it doesn't say, "You didn't close your ring yesterday, ya lazy slacker!"

I want to tell it, "Phone, when it's 5°F and the windchill is -12°, I am not going to close my ring. Just not going to do it. Leave me alone about this, ok? I still work out on the elliptical EVERY FREAKIN' DAY!"
