Like you, I am anticipating body pat replacement - a new right hip joint. Hopefully then, something akin to normal activity. But I really piped up to thank you for your labors in open heart surgery. Ten years ago, I got a new aortic valve and those

I envy you. My keft knee is bone on bone and I'm having a total knee replacement in a week. I hope to recover, lose some weight, and get back to hiking and camping. In November 2003, I spent a week hiking and camping on Cumberland Island National Sea

In general, I prefer an umbrella for short walks (parking lot to the building) and a rain shell for longer walks. My new favorite rain shell is from Goruck. It was super spendy but rugged, comfortable, and breathable.

In the winter, I have a hat (actually a cap) in my coat pocket. And gloves too. I wear them if I need them, otherwise they just stay in the pockets. I figure, if I don't need a coat, then I don't need a hat or gloves either, so it's safe to leave
