And in the meantime: SOUND OFF - what do YOU want Congress to do or not to do in terms of health care? Do you think the system ... read more
I will send pedometers to the first 5 who call my assistant (202 824 6300) and give her their names and addresses....provided they agree to wear it for 30 days and report their steps.

It is so ... read more

As you know, I have initiated a walking competition among some GretaWire bloggers. I sent out 5 pedometers and asked them to call in each day with the numbers. I wanted to make a game of it and see if the pedometers could change their lives and be fun. I don't know who the 5 are below -- I only know them by their code names. Check out the note I just received from my assistant. She is ... read more
