March Madness & Exercise in Chicago

Hi: Jim & I were delighted to go for an hour walk today to the Zoo & Conservatory.
I was so grateful for 50 degree temperatures! We know it will be an important week
for exercise to prevent "sprouts" from growing as we enjoy the March Madness college
BB tournments. In fact we hope to go to the Health Club & watch some of the games as
we glide on the ellipticals & walk on the treadmills. I have been trying to do alot of writing
on my dissertation proposal with the goal of forwarding to all my committee members this
coming week. I sure wish writing burned more calories!!

The streets of Chicago are filled with "green" St. Patrick revelers this weekend. Sara--We fondly
remember the year you celebrated St. Patrick's Day in Chicago. Jim plans to make his tasty
Irish Lamb Stew tomorrow for our St. Patrick's day dinner with Mary.

Love you all lots,
MJH
