Jumping in

Another beautiful January day! No really. And I've been wanting to try blogging instead of just responding so here I am. Whether anyone cares or not, that remains to be seen....

About me? Well, saying I'm a health nut would be taking it too far, but I've fallen into the category of "If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself." So, I'm taking better care of myself. Two years ago, cholesterol and weight were up and I changed my diet some and started walking a lot. Now I'm 20 lbs. lighter (at least until Super Bowl weekend, then I'll need a while to recover) and much healthier. The walking is with every dog in the neighborhood, hence dogwalkr.

I'm intrigued with local politics; think state politics have a purpose and feel like everyone thinks they're from D.C. once they get there. One would think someone would have the sense to fix health care. I had skin cancer taken off four years ago and can't see the same doctor for my new concern because they're out of network. A new doctor wants a referral, so several of them can line up for a shot at my wallet. Insurance sucks and it's time for a change, but since it has to come from D.C., where government policies are good and lobbying strong, let's not hold our breath.

OK, back to weekend work. I'll get better at this, I promise
