Finally things are more or less back to normal........weather appropriate for this time of year, low humidity and temperatures in the high 50'sF to low 60'sF, and my feet are basically back to normal, certainly not normal for a young man but normal for a man nearing 70 years old.......took a very leisurely, lovely walk........just one stop to make, but it was more about the walk..........because  of both weather and physical concerns it's been over a month since I've really enjoyed a walk......
