Did it!

My fancy wheeled walker and I actually made it around the entire circuit at the Relay For Life, roughly equivalent to two laps around a football field. And wow, what a turnout! We had about 6000 people turn out for the Relay For Life, continuing our record of being the largest Relay event in Colorado. Never saw any of the pro-fracking county commissioners, odd since they usually like to make themselves very visible in the walk. Did manage to have a few conversations about carcinogens in fracking fluids.

Also managed to forget my camera, wouldn'tcha know. The pic is from the newspaper, I'm somewhere in the upper left corner, waaay back in the crowd. And today I'm relaxing with a bag of frozen peas on each knee.
