Cherie, thanks so much for your note. I have been thinking about how fun the ice skating party was, too! I have been watching the Olympics, too. I have to admit I became an Olympic couch potato for 17 days. I celebrated my young friend Joshua’s 12th birthday with his family last weekend. It was extra special, because he just won the U.S. Bouldering Championship for 12-13 year-olds in Colorado. We are all very proud of him. I have started badminton practice two hours a day. It is a lot of running around. The drills are good; I think I will improve a lot practicing with this college team. I have still not been feeling too well on a consistent basis. I changed medications and maybe I am just having trouble adjusting. I have been cooking more and gaining a little weight, though. Stacey, from Belmont
