A female friend and former co-worker of mine joined Beth and me for dinner a few weeks ago. It was nice to catch up on what she’s been up to the past few years. I’m not sure why, but she mentioned this t-shirt to us, and how funny she thought it was: But personally, I… Continue reading T-shirts

Microfracture Video
The video for part of the surgery is a 67 megabyte MPG file. Most of the few people who read my blog probably don’t have the bandwidth to want to download such a thing, or don’t care to watch it. But if you’re curious, let me know by leaving a comment here and I’ll upload… Continue reading Microfracture Video
It’s called “microfracture”
The surgical procedure they did to me yesterday is called “microfracture”. I couldn’t remember the name when I wrote that last blog entry. From what I’ve seen online, recovery should take longer than what we had originally hoped, which was just some cartilage work. For example, from MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Physical therapy begins in the… Continue reading It’s called “microfracture”
Kill Bond, now!
Well, today was knee surgery. It went well, I guess. We were back home by 10:30 AM, and I’ve been reclined all day long, under the effects of narcotics. The whole thing was surprisingly pain free. And I got a CD containing a movie file that shows the critical part of the surgery. Last week,… Continue reading Kill Bond, now!
Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 8
New Year’s Day we started with another free “continental” breakfast, and then Beth drove us down the icy mountain. I took over driving at Georgetown. I’d originally thought of going to Pappadeaux’ for Sunday brunch, but we were both anxious to get home and, frankly, a bit burned out on dining out (not to mention… Continue reading Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 8
Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 7
What else could we do on New Year’s Eve day but, you guessed it, find a hot springs. After our free continental breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express, we drove to Buena Vista. I wanted to find the new housing development they’re making around the future water park. Last time we were in Buena Vista,… Continue reading Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 7
Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 6
After another great breakfast by Lara, we headed north. I made Beth drive because I’d been driving most of the trip. Plus, I knew this stretch of road was likely to be boring and I wanted to rest my eyes some. We had something of a lunch at a crappy diner called “Fawn’s” in Alamosa,… Continue reading Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 6
Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 5
Thursday, we went to the Ojo Caliente hot springs and soaked in the morning. I liked their hot springs, but thought it was a bit overpriced and understaffed. There was a steady line of at least 5 parties waiting to get through the cashier into the hot springs all the time we were there. One… Continue reading Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 5
Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 4
Wednesday morning found us transferring our tons of luggage and other stuff back into the truck. We had a “continental breakfast” worthy of the Econo Lodge name and then went to soak in the pools at the Pagosa Springs Inn (or whatever the hell it’s currently called). We spent all morning there, and had a… Continue reading Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 4
