- Yesterday I was able to walk for one hour at Schrom Park. I walked five laps which according to my pedometer is just under four miles.
- In the afternoon I watched a free "on demand" episode of the Mr. Monk show on the Verizon FIOS. There are no commercials so it takes 47 minutes to watch one show. They make four shows available at a time. I hadn't seen the one I watched. This was the first time I watched anying on demand that lasted for more than a few minutes. Of course they charge a fee for most of the on demand programs. Movies cost $2.99 to $4.99 each. Cyndi told us she has been watching some pay for view movies on her cable service. Most of the video stores in our area are now closed.
