I traveled a total of 7,846 miles between April 2nd and June 26, about 86 days. I didn't take the side trips I normally try to take, with the weather being the major cause in most cases. I am so glad I got to see Dinosaur National Monument and the Eleanor Roosevelt "cottage", and of course the drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway and through the northeastern Georgia mountains. The real surprise to me was how much I enjoyed being at the beach communities of Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach. The weather was perfect, daytime in the 70's, and the area is really attractive, especially at the beach. Note that I am normally not a "beach person" at all! I am also very pleased that I made the appointment with Dr. Bergman and then managed to be there for it - not an easy task when having to drive so many miles with the uncertainty of the weather.
Will I ever do it again? Well, I'm fond of saying "That's it - I'm finished - I am never going to drive long distance again (go backpacking, etc.). Then after I think about it for a while and the negative side of the event dims in memory, I'm raring to go again. Get back up on that horse, Gypsy! I just hope the aging process holds off enough that I can continue to do what I like to do, in moderation naturally, although I've never been known to do things in moderation. When I decide I'm going to do something I usually just jump right in and muster up all the energy and determination I have.
Speaking of Dr. Bergman, he gave us a referral of a corrective chiropractor in Sacramento, actually close to Jeannie's neighborhood. I looked at his website and checked all the reviews, and I think he will be fine. I'm going to call first thing tomorrow morning and make an appointment, as I want to get on with this.
And tomorrow morning I will visit my regular hairdresser who will hopefully give me a cut I can live with and manage myself! Life is looking so good all the way around.
- Wow! What A Day
I've certainly had an incredible day, and I'll have to write more about it when I'm back in Sacramento. I'm leaving at daybreak tomorrow to try to avoid a lot of commute traffic, and hope the Calgrove Fire hasn't worsened and...

I used the GPS to get to the gym this morning - couldn't go too wrong being only a mile away, if that far. It seems to work fine but Garmin made little modifications in how things work - like what you have to do to find the addresses you use...
- Feeling Ridiculous!
I drove to the library this morning, and then stopped by the gym on my way back. I was in the gym for about half an hour and when I returned to my car I saw something leaking. I was only half a city block from Jesse's Neighborhood Garage,...

I'm doing a little better but still lacking energy. My sister has had some medical problems and daughter Jeannie stayed overnight with her on Monday night, and asked me to come over to be with her for a while on Tuesday. I did and went...
