Important Update + Political Potpourri

fitbit Friday::fitbit Update

I have been competing against myself, so to speak, trying to achieve at least 10,000 steps per day, as part of my strategy to be in peak * physical condition for my hip replacement surgery on TUE 3/15. Here is my progress since my last fitbit Update.

• Sat 2/27:  8275 steps
• Sun 2/28:  5008 **
• Mon 2/29:  8043
• Tue 3/1:  10896
• Wed 3/2:  10931
• Thu 3/3:  12,583 [My app notified me that I was an over-achiever!]

Today:  Will undoubtedly be a challenge, since I will be driving w/Sarah & the little girls to Eagan, MN. We will be joining the rest of the family on the occasion of Calvin's baptism on SAT 3/5. Yes, that is a great cause for celebration, & I'm planning to do a devotional focusing on Baptism + Lent on Saturday. But I digress.
* "Peak" may be a bit of an overstatement.
** True confession time. I didn't do my pre-op PT either. ***
*** I'm currently trying to do 2 sets of pre-op physical therapy exercises each day. 

Political Potpourri 

Was I dismayed by the results of Super Primary Tuesday? In a word . . . yes. [And you may see a follow-up response in my next Mental Health MON blog.] However, I am going to let the more erudite do the heavy lifting today. These sources range from non- to extremely partisan, but:

• It's my blog.
• These sources never fail to amuse me.
• Give them a chance. You may find them--well, some of them [a few of them?] --thought-provoking.
• The views expressed by these pundits do NOT necessarily reflect the views of the Leckband Cornhusker State Blog. [As far as you know.]
