Vivid dreams again last night, one that stands out is that I traveled to Germany to visit family there that I know and first thing I wanted to do when I got there was go out and take a long walk around the neighborhood. Just as I was about to go outdoors, I wake up.

Slept very good last night - close to 9 solid hours. Just about completely kicked the cold but my body is still quite sore. Nonetheless, I got out for some more good walking and topped 10 miles for the day yet again.

Weight loss is steady but still obvious I have a long way to go. I did get to the 21st hole on my belt which is good but I still got my gut spilling over my belt when wearing tight pants.

Weather started out on mild side but got colder as day went on. By late afternoon, there were deep blue skies with temps in low 20s and going down to near zero tonight.

Went to library and still checking out all kinds of books. Got books "City Dharma" which is about handling stress in the big city, "White Coat" which is about becoming a doctor at Harvard Medical School and "The American Paradox" which is about how it is the best and worst times to live in America. Still reading two other books I have out from library, one of which is a true story of how Alaskan dog teams brought serum to plague-stricken Nome, Alaska during the 1925 diptheria outbreak ("Cruelest Miles).
