I gave blood today. Last Friday I received a call from the blood center, saying that they needed type O+ blood for a four-year-old boy who was going to have an operation and would require a lot of blood. They needed the blood by Saturday, but with the Rosedale Ride on Saturday and the Capitol

My blood pressure was: My morning exercises:

Today has been quite a day. Last night on the way home, I noticed that the ride was getting much worse. There has been a vibration coming from the front of the pickup for some time; normally it happened when I got over 65 MPH, but last night it was happening above 55 MPH. When

Yesterday we met the new neighbors that have moved into the Iveys’ old house. It sounds like they have done a lot to fix up their new home. Their names are Seth, Sunny, and the cute little one is Leila, aged 20 months. Nice to have a little girl growing up there again! It sounds

I had big plans for this weekend but the sore throat that’s been bothering me for several weeks got in the way of most of activities. Saturday I helped the Huntington-Surrey Robotics Team with their robot. Well, I stood around and gave a few suggestions. There were plenty of adults helping. The official start time

I had a physical exam today. Dr. Hahn found everything okay. My cholesterol was about 179 which is okay, however, I will start taking Lipitor in a couple of days.
