Congrats on Fit December
I'm sorry the escape needs to be postponed but i don't mind being stuck with you here. I need to know what day it is anyway…
Good luck.

Had me worried for a while there with your So Long and Thanks For All the Fish bit! Glad to see you're still here (in a Darebee sense rather than a physical I'd-rather-be-in-Central-Europe sense).

Happy New Year and New Thread! Congrats on Fit December!

I'm sorry you are not enjoying your pilsner in Europe right now, but we're glad to have you here in the Hive! We can all be stuck together...

Thank you mavie , TopNotch , and Whirly. Yes I am still here despite second, third and fourth thoughts.

The new thread is good.

Pisco Sours are all right.

Yay for your new thread, I'm sorry you're stuck.
I like the 'what kind of day it is' 😊

Welcome back I was gonna be sad if you were leaving us, for whatever reason. I enjoy your posts and your workouts are always amazing. Whatever is keeping you where you are, try to embrace it and keep going, huh?

Thank you CaptainCanuck , NancyTree , DorothyMH. I've done a little research CaptainCanuck and you can get Pisco here in this country if you look hard enough but I've never seen it offered in bars and restaurants. At $70/bottle I wasn't going to buy one just to try it out. I might have to wait until I'm on the other side of the Pacific Ocean again before trying that one.
