Today our monthly phone bill went down over $100 a month.

We sat down with a Comcast guy and switched our cell phones from Verizon to Xfinity, which already had our internet, TV, and landline. We're also getting a big refund for some old equipment we had turned in but were still paying for without realizing it.

Not only am I not affiliated with either company except as a customer, I don't know what the hell it all means and my husband had to drag me kicking and screaming to the appointment. I said I'd rather go to the dentist.

Luckily, he prevailed over my fear of change. I can be stubborn.

I was given these flowers on Valentine's Day.

Seventeen days and counting. (I did remove two dried roses a few days ago.) Haven't they lasted a long time!

Vacation idea: Ride the world's longest train.

My friend, a widow in her 50's, just did this. I would love to visit Morocco and Mauritania but I'm not going to sit on top of an iron ore car for 400 miles and camp out with camels; I'm too old now. This is very cool though.

It's been six years since we took the train from Boston to D.C.,

met up with friends, and walked ten miles with our signs, four people in a sea of like-minded millions. May the spirit of that glorious day never die.
