Yesterday was a pretty good day for recovering. I didn’t need any pain medicine, and spend something like 7.5 hours on the knee machine. I’ve been watching lots of movies and some TV and catching up on web surfing and a little reading. We watched the 2nd half of the Two Towers last night, and… 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.

Here’s the whole story: Beth and I checked out Acoustic Brunch at the Cannon Mine coffee shop in Lafayette today. I’d heard about it for a while, but never went.

Supposedly I now have up to 237 hours of TiVo recording capacity. Of course, that’s at the lowest quality. Now that our TiVo has so much space, I set it to always… Continue reading Untitled
