Today is my 70th birthday. Two weeks ago I was neither 70 nor a full-blown diabetic. Now I am both. I think the the road to life just got a whole lot steeper but I'm up for the challenge. I don't know what I would do without Kathy.

Got a tread mill yesterday. Worked out this morning and will do some more this afternoon-will just take time and patience.

I bought a new car on October 18th-I finally got the licence plates yesterday as the dealer kept messing up the paperwork. I would have had to pay a fine next week.

I think Keri and Eric and the boys will stop by tonight to help celebrate. There aren't aren't any grand plans. The University of Wyoming men's basketball team beat the U of Colorado men's team in Boulder last night. A friend bought me a ticket but obviously I cancelled but the win will count as a big birthday present for me.
