Alison, any improvement with your back pain?
Susan, you've really had a rough fall. I hope things are beginning to look up for you. I know how hard it is to be far from your mom.
It's very cold here, but still not cold enough to kill the pine bark beetle eggs. Now that the beetle is here, they expect that 95% of the surrounding forests will be gone in the next 5 years if we don't have a harsh winter soon. The dead wood will be a real fire hazard, too.
I had to take some days off from rowing this past week. Because Thanksgiving was late this year, I got a very late start with the baking that I do every year for my relatives. Between work and double baking in the evening, I was too pooped to row. The packages are in the mail, so I'm going to see what I can do to make up for all of the days I missed. I used to row just a little throughout the year, but I would always make the 200,000 for the Holiday Challenge (even if I had to row a LOT on the last day). I'll feel terrible if I blow it this year. Barring injury, I'm going for it!
Congratulations to all of you who have made your goals, and best of luck to those who are still working toward the 100,000 or 200,000 mark!
~Linda
