Hope the move is smooth.

It’ll be good to have you back home.

Moi? Not yet. Not having had the time to get back on the treadmill, it’s not been an issue . . .

So did you actually buy one?

Nothing like a nudge, eh?

My question is: can you run with the Danglet without hurting yourself? I train with a pacing app and am debating whether to get an armband instead (which I’ll attach to the treadmill while I train indoors so I have easy access to my Touch’s controls).

If I did not insist, you would not have so many post here.

Keep them coming, if you do the research then I won’t have to.

Comment on Sad state of health care by Lou

I must say, some of the comments were quite lively! John Dutton writes: “Sorry, but who’s the language-Nazi here? Should you really expect everyone to speak your language when you visit a foreign country?”

I’m not excusing the staff at the hospital, but they get the brunt of complaints for a less-than-healthy health system. As you say, can someone fix health care, please?

I’ve done the 13+ hours in an emergency waiting room a few times. (BTW, I always speak French but get the same curt, sometimes surly service, so from my point of view, I don’t think language is the biggest problem.) My advice: before leaving for the hospital (time allowing) grab your iPod, a few Sudoko puzzles, a juicy novel, and be ready for a long, long wait in a cold, brightly-lit, dismal emergency room. And be prepared. It’s gonna hurt.
