1/26 Tuesday update from Joe

[Gay Haldeman]

I did my first actual bicycle ride since last August, yesterday. Got  
on the recumbent and pedaled three miles. That's like five miles on a  
regular bike, and I was pretty beat afterwards. (This from a guy who  
lazed through a metric century on his June birthday.) It's progress,  
and it was good to get out in the pleasant cool, sixties.

I used the recumbent in case I lost balance, since you can only fall  
about eighteen inches from it. But there was no problem; I'll go out  
on the road bike next.

Finished signing all the front pages for the leatherbound edition of  
STARBOUND for Easton Press. They did a good job on MARSBOUND and have  
contracted for EARTHBOUND, should the author get off his ass and  
finish it.

I had a welcome medical milestone yesterday. The nurse came over and  
said the VA doctors had told her to take out the PICC line in my arm.  
Meaning my lab results said that I wouldn't be needing the antibiotic  
drip anymore.
I took a shower afterwards and had this discomfiting notion that I  
was forgetting something. Oh, yeah. The antibiotic bottle I've been  
carrying around like a pet on a leash.
Joe
