Walked and jogged to work. Wore icebugs because ice.

Enjoyed a birthday celebration. February is busy for birthdays around here; at the Superbowl party 5 of about a dozen people had Feb birthdays.

After orienteering practice, three of the team members came back and helped me with PR for the Tucson training camp and did some blogging.

I will visit a physician's assistant today about my shoulder. It has been getting worse. I wrench it painfully several times a day just doing things like putting a shirt on. It pops and cracks frequently. There is a dull ache most of the time, and I can't reach my head to shampoo or behind my back, and putting the seatbelt on is dicey.

I'd prefer to see a doctor, not an assistant who will just prescribe physical therapy. I'd like to know if there is something torn that could be repaired. I'd like to know whether using it is bad or good.

I went to Chicago over the weekend to visit my parents, for whom travel is harder. Mom has some medical complaints that are not yet diagnosed; various tests upcoming. We walked along the lake, and I taught Mom how to Uber, and we did some research into the time when they were taking the Siberian railroad across from China through Mongolia, through Siberia, to Moscow. They got their visas at the Soviet embassy in Beijing around 8/15/91, and in between then and when they took the train out, well, I'll let you read the version of the story that Dad wrote and I edited. We pored over his journals from that time, along with googling the events. Pretty fun, though Dad got tired and discouraged by the end of our session.
