Good for you, Deb! And your hubby! Trying to lose weight sucks, I'm in the same boat. At six feet and with my frame, I can handle up to about 200 lbs. When I got on the Doc's scale and tipped it to 255, I knew I had to do something before it got too far out of control. Short term plan, cut the Coke, the extra extra in the coffee, double burgers, late night snacks, i.e. Klondike Bars. I dropped 15 lbs just by doing that. My first goal is to get down to 225, i figure if I take things in steps, I won't get discouraged as easy.

Amelia, Ed, your new story idea sounds cool! Looking forward to reading it. I need to get back to my time travel story, the one I started over a year ago. I've been busy with other things, as of late. In March, I joined the Astronomical Society of Rhode Island, better known as The Skyscrapers, and I've been writing for the newsletter. http://www.theskyscrapers.org/matt-white?type=950112 Not much there yet, but I just finished an article about my life experience as an amateur astronomer. It should be published in the newsletter (and the website) next month.

Denise, now that you have your own space (isn't that so freeing) I look forward to reading some more of your work. I trust you are settled nicely in your new place.

June is always a busy time of year for me. The third weekend is when the ARRL Field Day is held and our informal radio group take that event very seriously. (We start planning for next year the week after the event.) A friend of mine once called it "organized insanity" a term that fits quite well.

Sounds like we're all going to be writing new stuff!  Yippee!  
Here's hoping everyone's spring turns out perfect!
