Month: November 2003

Yahoo! News – McCain Lashes Congress, Bush for Overspending – I wrote a letter to John McCain a few weeks ago, telling him how sorry I was that I didn’t vote for him when I had the chance. Of any politician of any party, I’ve thought for several months that McCain would make the best… Continue reading Untitled

I’m a regular blood donor at Bonfils, and I got a call from them shortly before my knee surgery asking if I could come donate. I declined, given the upcoming surgery. They called again and left another message a couple days ago, so I just called them to find out how long I have to… Continue reading Untitled

Yahoo! News – Turkey & Gravy Soda on the Table for Thanksgiving – Sign me up. Not!

My Knee Photos – In case you care, here are the photos of the inside of my knee before, during, and after surgery.
