Nothing exciting. I walked into a glass door the day before after leaving my chiropractors office. Must have been really relaxed to do that. I was reminded of Natasha Richardson, and stayed at the condo most of the day. By 2:30 I decided I was ok, and went for a short walk.

Congratulations on the bald eagle sighting. The coyote looks like he still has a good winter coat on. :thumbsup:
