HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEAGAN.

I must have been smoking something when I thought I would have plenty of time to research walking/biking tours and an EFIS lawsuit. It has now taken me 25 minutes to actually get this far. Microsoft Internet hasn't been very reliable. I have tried Mozilla--sometimes I can do one or two emails before it poops out (good thing I'm not getting very many emails--hint, hint), netscape, and whatever else is in the list. Currently it is telling me that it(????) cannot contact Blogger. com. Saving and publishing may fail. Retrying. Good thing this is the only totally frustrating thing in my life.
And so.

Tim Roemer, formerly our Congressman--back when a few of them had integrity--IS, indeed, the US Ambassador to India. I tried to email him the other day to see if he wanted to come visit, but they wanted some information about 'server' and nothing I put in was the solution to the problem so I don't think it went through. I also sent it to myself and didn't get it.

Apparently the rash I have is indeed heat rash--something I haven't had since I was a baby. However, I decided Dr. Baji was correct when I went for a walk yesterday and was itching under a particular article of clothing. So now I have prickly heat powder. Also a change in the oil. The two together are working.
Everyday Kathy puts jasmine flowers in my hair. It smells soooooooo good!
It rained Monday night--thunderstorm--and was quite pleasant yesterday morning. It also rained this morning. As it was raining, I haven't walked yet today. I have consistently been doing over an hour every morning.
Found some children yesterday and tried my very limited knowledge of Malayalum on them. I was supposed to see them again this morning. Trust me when I say that their English was far better than my Malayalum. I have graduated to simple phrases for Good Morning and How are you. I know the word for hot water and one for cold water. And thank you. That's pretty much it.
David, if I ever manage to be able to contact Facebook, Francis and Salini (lady in blue) may ask for a confirmation. People the world over are on Facebook. Amelia is also on Facebook.
I gave Francis Amelia's email, and they both are apparently delighted to be in touch with each other. Amelia apparently is in Germany for that treatment I may or may not have told you about--two weeks in a hospital run by a surgeon/oncologist to boost her immune system as well as conduct what sounded like heat therapy on her right lung. Yet she continues to be interested in others and in tackling new things. An amazing person!
YOGA. I don't think I've mentioned that Anil is still the Yoga Master. As I am the only patient now--as well as for the foreseeable future--I have to go. But he has been cool. Not expecting me to do the things David was able to do. At the end, when he sits crosslegged and tells me to bend over and touch the floor with my forehead, I have to laugh because I just don't bend anywhere near that far. I must be thinking it's okay--don't want to go so far as to say 'enjoyable'--but I have been thinking of looking in on the Indian who does one of the Yoga classes at Knollwood.

You have no idea how much my mood has come up just being able to share this much. Hopefully, I will be able to publish before Explorer goes out again. It's been off and on while I've been typing.
Ice water is not good for you. The body has it's own temperature regulator, and we shouldn't be interferring with it. Whatever. What I would give for some ice water.

'Til we meet again.
Love,
Mom/Peggy/Granny/NiNi
