Och! George! I am so sorry to learn of your thrombosis and thyroid. Yowza! I am glad my photos can help you experience biking vicariously. I know that vicarious adventure is one of the great gifts to me when I have extended periods that I can't get out.
In case it helps, here is a prayer of Thanksgiving I find wonderfully helpful for those times when despair or self pity trample on my soul: http://www.mindyourheadcoop.org/blog/?p=415. I find that the gift of shifting my attitude to happiness rather than despair is like shifting from 22mm tires at 100 psi to 38mm tires at 40 psi -- the road amazingly gets smoother and the journey more joyous. If I may, I'd like to include you in my prayers. May God startle you with joy!
