          So, I had some meetings with a physical therapist. We talked mainly about my shoulder and she gave me some exercises which I have been doing.  The shoulder is nearly well, but not quite.  During our last meeting, I asked about my legs.  I asked if my pain could be caused by arthritis.  She gave me a very diplomatic answer:  “Well you are a couple days over 20.”

I went into the Ridge today to exercise in the gym.  There are heaps of machines and weights on poles and pulleys.  Oskar and I went over.  He likes to look around at stuff and do little bits of exercise. His favorite is the rowing machine.  He, like all of us, likes to see the numbers accumulate on the computer readout.  It gives you an estimate of the distance, the calories burned, the kilojoules, the fat lost, and the number of bears you have outrun.

            As I began the run today, I thought I was feeling better. My legs didn’t have as much soreness in them and I thought I could manipulate those legs more easily. I felt this way all though the early run, right through the time when I stopped to pet a beautiful, friendly little kitten. I was listening to a couple 60 Minutes interviews with Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
