Nawchem, isn't Spring great? We had a few beautiful days here, but are back to our regularly scheduled gloomy overcast. That's the PNW for you. What part of the country are you in, if you don't mind me asking?

The dog comes in and hangs out with me most days. She has a new bed for the office that she really likes and this morning she was in there waiting for me. She's gotten much bette about not trying to climb on me, but sometimes she still does and I have to nudge her away. She just figures that because I'm down there on the floor, it must be for her.

Goals: To be more capable, able to take part in active travel, and participate in new activities.

• Sit on the ground and stand up using just my feet
• Walk for two hours without feeling it
• Climb 4 flights of stairs without getting winded
• Run 1 mile

Interim goals: Stand up from seated position easily using just my feet, walk 2 miles without feeling it, climb 2 flights of stairs without getting winded, do a push-up (knees)
