Light rain overnight, clearing later in the day, cool north wind, beautiful sky. It's October in Texas and I missed the best day of the year sitting in a doctor's office.

My annual cardiac stress test (which I skipped last year) turned into an all day affair. I was at the hospital at 8:00 a.m. for X-rays, in the doctors office by 9:00, in the test area by 10:00, ran the treadmill at 10:30, then spent the rest of the day waiting for the doctor to see me. I left his office at 5:15 p.m.

I guess my time is worthless.
