Whew!  What a workout this morning, am I ever exhausted, I know, I'm also late with getting out the post this am. that's going to happen from time to time, don't worry, and remember, better late than never!

I am very concerned about Zac who is experiencing quite alot of pain again, I hope that Zac's infection is not coming back, and I really hope that Zac calls his doctor so that this matter can be attended to as soon as possible, doctors really do make the worst patients!

It is so bloody bitter out, I am really quite sick of winter and cannot wait until the weather turns to the warmer!

Zac and I talked to our nieces, Sally and Jessie yesterday, they both are quite well, although Sally told both Zac and I off for not telling her that her Uncle Zac had been in the hospital.  Sally, is very close to Zac and worries about him incessantly.  For the record, we couldn't talk with Raphael, our nephew, as he was not home when we called on the phone.

Okay, I'll admit it, I wouldn't mind living in Derek Jeter's house,  although I do admit, nine (9) bathrooms is a bit excessive.

I really like Lady Gaga and would love to go to one (1) of her concerts!

The "In the News" add-on featured a curious bit of information this day.  A recent study involving two thousand, seven hundred and twenty-nine (2,729) volunteers recruited online, all of whom were at least thirteen (13) years of age, and typically ran ten (10) miles (sixteen (16) kilometres) per week, found that stretching before a run, does not affect the risk of injury.   The runners were randomly divided into two (2) groups, one (1) of which was instructed to perform three (3) to five (5) minutes of stretching exercises immediately before a run, and one (1) of which was told to run without stretching first.   After three (3) months, both groups reported injury rates of sixteen (16) percent, and both reported similar types of injuries.   However, changing one's routine by either starting or abandoning a pre-run stretching was found to increase the risk of injury.

Calgary is one of the best places to live in the world.  Yes, according to a recent survey, the Albertan city ranked fifth out of one hundred and forty (140) cities and was third among Canadian locales, behind Vancouver and Toronto which placed first and fourth respectively.  How about that?

Okay, why doesn't just everyone rub salt in my wounds.  The Beckhams, Victoria and David, have been invited to the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton and I haven't, what is the world coming to?, I ask you!

Rush Limbaugh is criticising the First Lady, Michelle Obama today, calling her a hypocrite after she ate ribs at a local restaurant this weekend all the while promoting her anti-obesity campaign.  It does seem a little contradictory, but I don't think the First Lady is over-weight, however, she should practice what she preaches, don't you think?

Well I know the post is a little on the short side, but that is all that is on my mind aujourdhui, so that gives you more time to do the things you have to do, all the best people, and,  have a nice day.
