This morning, for the last time, I rode my gofer (“Shadowfax”) to the rehab clinic, to Zamia for writing time, and home again. We’ve had fun together, Shadowfax and I. And he has been a most faithful companion through the long months of disability with my knee renewals, keeping my knees safe and they’ve recovered.

When Rob put him away in his stable (see above) for the last time tonight, I silently thanked this steed, and my dear friend Kerry who lent him to me, for the good times we’ve enjoyed.
