The last three weeks have been very busy for us. In early June we had the ADA Scientific Sessions conference in Washington D.C. and last week, we had four events to attend in the space of six days. Oh yes, did I mention that I'm riding 300 miles a week during that time too? I think I noted in some of my entries during that time that I would be doing shorter entries because of our schedule. Now that all those events are done, I'll get back to posting some of that extra information, including occasional reports on blood sugars. My camera is hanging in there. I've taken about 1600 photos and video clips with it during our tour. I think I've dropped it three times, but only once from a moving bicycle and only once with the camera case off. It is showing some signs of wear. It's got some scratches from when I dropped it and it occasionally gets a "LENS ERROR" when I turn the thing on. Cellphone service? Don't get me started about cellphone service! We've had a lot of troubles with service recently. Our service provider told us that most of the northeast is analog cellphone service and I've got a digital-only cellphone. That probably accounts for most of problems we're having. Pat and I have started sending text messages because it seems more reliable than the voice service. We're hoping that all these problems go away as we move west out of the northeast. Hi Florian!

When I'm up around the NH and VT countryside I like to take pictures of old barns and farm houses. I also like to take pictures of Lighthouses along the New England coast. What kind of digital camera are you using? It must be a well made camera to go through what you described happened in Kittery. Also what cell phone service are you using? Just curious. Haven't heard you mention anything lately about blood sugars so you must have things under good control. When I ask my daughter the LIVabetes Glucose Goddess how things are going, she tells me, "Gee Dad, you should've been here yesterday, my numbers were great." I hope you have good weather on your dream tour through the rest of New England so you can enjoy the sights and take more good pictures. I will be reading your daily postings and stay in touch. Good luck and take care. Florian Hi Pete,
