Travelin'

Well, I just threw around my credit card too much, but I am booked for a whirlwind in 2 weeks. Lynn, Jim, and Brian are driving out here, and we all are going to Boston so Jim can take a look around at MIT. Then I am flying to LA to visit Sue and the Boys for a few days. It will be hectic, but fun. I can not look at a week off without developing some serious wanderlust.

I am happy to report that my knee is on the mend. It feels good finally! I really wanted to go biking today in the 65 degree weather, but I decided to cool it and make sure it is for real. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I guess I do not realize how difficult it is to rest my knobby knees when I am working. The stinkers do not tend to understand that sort of thing. I have been kineseotaping my knee, so when they do not get I am hobbled, I just roll up my pantleg and show them my "booboo". I think they imagine a giant scratch, but it seems effective nonetheless. I swear it had a target painted on it. I had all sorts of weird incidents when kids were suddenly hugging my leg (or punching it like one of my lovely clients likes to do when he is done kicking me!).

On an unrelated note, I spotted a heron on top of a tree tonight on a walk. I have never seen that before. It pays to look around, even in suburbia!
