Jimmy enjoys a blueberry muffin, under Andy's close supervision

Jimmy has a cold. He hasn't left the house since Thanksgiving, but with all the rain and cold we've had, it's just as well. His immune system is still compromised, and will be for a while, and little things hit him harder and last longer.

Except for this minor setback, he has been progressing beautifully: he eats well and his exercise program was working wonders. We'll get back on track soon.

The worst thing is that Jimmy Bolen had offered to fly us down to Marsh Harbour this week, and it looks like we won't be able to go. Foiled again. We were last there in March 2007, and had planned on going back two weeks later, after my class reunion, and here it is December 2008, and we're STILL trying to get there.
