Hi, I'm Dave. Today is Easter, I wonder if that means more or fewer people will be walking today.

Historically for our family, Easter was a time for walking. I remember

after we had Easter dinner together we would take a walk I don't think it was a

long walk but I do remember very vividly walking through the neighborhood with my family.

So at least a sample size of one, Easter meant more walking.

Our weather is still between winter and spring and very unpredictable.

I don't know if you can hear the birds. We are very much in spring here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

My health progress is at a standstill, and at times I feel like what's the point?
