          What a crappy stretch for me. I think I am finally getting better. I can at least put my socks on without pain.

           

          Urgh...

                  I have a cold, and my right hip

                  is a mess

                    42 for my first week in Colorado.. What a week! Some ups and downs. But great weather. We won't tell Erika, but 70s up to 80 and sunny all week. This I can get used to.
