Thanks, Kelly.  I found some other photos of me so I added them to my
page along with the ones that my friend, David, took last night. He did
a concert near here and I went to help out with the CD and songbook
table.  I was so surprised when I saw the photos as it suddenly hit me
that I had lost a LOT of weight, LOL!  I also found a photo that was
taken in early December of last year. Wow, what a difference!

I might do that and take the ferry up there. That sounds like it would
be a nice outing. I hope they are going to do something about the border
for the Olympics. I really wanted to come up for the figure skating, but
 I can't even fathom what the border crossing will be like during the
Olympics if that's what it's like on a regular Friday afternoon.

I have been thinking about doing volunteer work somewhere. I just have
to find a place that allows drop ins. Most of the places I've looked at
want you to sign up for at least 6 months and specify what days and
hours you will be there. If I was going to do that, I might as well get
a paying job...and I don't think I'm up to that.

I tried joining a photography club here but it was very cliqueish. I
went a few times, but it was always the same. I took a series of classes
at the local hospital called "Healthy Weight" and my group decided to
stay together to support each other. We meet for coffee once a month, so
I do have that. But I'm thinking that I need more. I am getting antsy
now that I've lost weight and have more energy. So I'll have to see what
I can find :)
