It's very purty here
I have never been to this part of Pennsylvania before, so I didn't know what to expect. I am staying in Hummelstown, which is next to Hershey. The town is just beautiful. I'll take pictures after work tonight, and maybe figure out how to get the pictures on my laptop and then to you.
I'm trying to start a new exercise program - which has to be better than no exercise program whatsoever.
I got up at 5:30 and took a walk, then I went to the hotel gym and did 15 minutes on the treadmill and then another 15 minutes on the bike. And all of you health nuts who are going to tell me that's not enough - please refrain yourselves, you don't know anything about my body.
My plane trip from Kansas City to Atlanta was unremarkable, however from Atlanta to Harrisburg, a very stupid woman thought it was a good idea to open her bottle of oil of eucalyptus and let her neighbor sniff it. Within seconds, the entire plane was full of people sniffing and getting very worried. I (ask John) have a nose like a bloodhound, and I turned around (the woman was behind me) and asked if she smelled something funny. She held up her bottle of oil of eucalyptus and said, "Isn't this marvelous? It clears my sinuses right up." I told her that maybe she didn't realize it, but everyone in the plane ( a small commuter plane) could smell it, too, and could she please put the stopper on it.
Stupid, stupid, thoughtless people. They are everywhere.

I'm a borderline health nut (it comes and goes in spurts) and I'm going to tell you the opposite, not that it's not enough, but not to do too much. I get very excited when I find some new motivation and I tend to overdo, only to burn out. I'm there now and am having to consciously throttle myself back. Just take it easy... there is no rush!

Beth's nose is amazing. She can smell mouse farts at 100 feet.

*raises eyebrow*
Something tells me those aren't mouse farts she's smelling...and not from 100 feet either.
*wonders if he blames the dog too...*

Glad to hear you made it fine - dispite the smell.
As I so often say - the thoughtlessness of people are a constant amazement. I don't know why, you'd think I'd be used to it. But there you go. Just another example.
BTW - good for you on the exercise. Not only good for the body but great for the mind also!

Actually, Calliope, I don't. Ever since Mickey died, there's been no gasbag to blame.
But, then, I'm not the one who blamed the dog... cuz I'm not the gassy one.
Nope she truly can sniff out mousefarts at 100 feet.
It was a statement of awe, not a deflection!
