Rick, the neck isn't doing too bad. I had the most physically demanding weekend in a while. Not only did I go out in the boat both days but I spent three hours mowing the yard Saturday and I rode my bike 10-12 miles yesterday. That wouldn't be a tough weekend for most people but I'm a little bit out of practice right now.

My shoulder was hurting a few weeks ago and the orthopedist wanted to give me a cortisone shot. I told him it didn't hurt that bad. I don't know if I mentioned it earlier but I still need a new hip because I have developed osteoarthritis after fracturing it when I crashed. In spite of that I feel blessed. Things could be much worse. Thanks for asking.
