to the 2 or 3 people who read this... what up? Been awhile between posts. I had a big install for work last month and that kept me busy. Was on-call last week which had me up at night a few times. In between all that, I had some severe knee pain that I ended up going to the doctor for. Basically it stems from something I did 30 years ago. 7th grade PE class, May 1977. Bashed my knee into the side of a pommelhorse. Had a very stiff knee all summer, but played it down to my folks so they didnt take me to the doc back then. I wasa 13 year old dumb ass and just knew that if I went to the doc he was gonna cut my leg off at the knee. I know I did something to my kneecap as since then it has always seemed out of place and every once in awhile it causes me pain. This time is was quite unbearable and I had top do something about it. I could barely walk and could simply not do any stairs. The doc checked me out did some x-rays, and decided it is patellar tendonitis. So something that is not really fixable, just manageable. My knee has recovered for the time being. All I can really do for it is to stretch the patellar tendon and attached muscles when I feel pain.

What else is up? Hmmm.. Big wine sale at BevMo lately so I stocked up on some wine. Trying to increase my wine knowledge. Along those lines, I am headed to Northern California on Friday. My buddy Robert and I are going to a whiskey fest on Saturday in San Fran. Arriving Fri and staying at another friends place in the city for two nights. On Sunday we head to Sonoma County to enjoy the local wineries and brewpubs. Not coming back until Wednesday. I am soooooo going to enjoy getting away. I hope the wife and boy dont kill each other while I am gone.
