The Bee’s Knees…
I had an MRI on my knee last week, and based on that it appears that I will require arthroscopic knee surgery. That’s not a major issue, really. At least I don’t think so. The real problem is that Liz and I are going to Thailand next month. I can either go to Thailand with […]

Bad News…
Found out yesterday that my step-mom has lung cancer. It seems her breast cancer has come back with a vengeance, but has now decided to attack her lungs. She has not been given a good prognosis. In fact, she has been given a year with chemotherapy. It’s possible that she could live longer, but it’s […]

Entering the 21st Century…

Crazy Neighbors…
My neighbor across the street never, ever parks in his driveway. Neither does his wife. Instead, they park on the street. By the way, my neighbor drives a huge work van. His wife drives a some sort of American sedan. In the month that I’ve been living at the new place I have never seen […]
