- November 8, 2007
- I went for a bike ride Sunday. It was a beautiful day in the 70s, so I took advantage of what may be the last of our lingering warm autumn days. Since I was gone for two weeks and then had the flu for a couple of weeks, I haven’t felt much like doing anything except spending time on the couch with a book or watching Ellen or Oprah. It felt good to stretch my legs and my lungs and take in the vanishing beauty of the season.

- What seems like only a few years has turned into 11 since I first noticed a petite little girl at the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event in Baldwin. She caught my eye not only because of her sweet face, but because her baldness announced at this particular event she was a cancer survivor.

Point of View
What do you think about a proposed ban on smoking in public places such as restaurants, bars and workplaces?
As much as I hate government interfering with our lives, I love the smoking ban. Going out in Lawrence is so nice without smelling cigarette smoke at your table while eating.
