Day 3: starting to notice improvement in pain level with a given quantity of medication. This seems to be a good and expected development. I thought it would be fun, interesting, or at least blog-like to jot down some thoughts about this surgery. In no particular order, here we go: … Continue reading
Just got back home a bit ago from surgery. It went well. The hospital was supposed to call on Friday with the arrival time. They called but didn’t leave messages. The last instructions I got were to expect an arrival time around 11:00 a.m. and that I couldn’t have anything … Continue reading

I just read through three letters I wrote in 1991 and 1992. Thanks to Paul for sending them. I thought I had kept them but they got lost somewhere along the way. I’m glad he had them! One was to a judge over a ticket I got from a backpacking … Continue reading
After just under a week of ‘playing’ with my new laptop, I’m calling it good. Initially, I thought I’d just install Mandriva Linux and go on my merry way, but I thought it might be more beneficial for both myself and others to take some extra time and document the … Continue reading
