Oh, Yes, Kick Me In The Gut Again, Please

I had hernia surgery yesterday, so I'll be off work for a couple of weeks. How this will affect my blogging, I don't know. On one hand, I should have more free time. On the other hand, sitting up hurts. On the other other hand, generic Vicodin is only about $6 for 32 pills, can you believe that?

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to learn all about go! :-)

Hope you have a quick recovery, we need ya good by the end of April!

That was a major consideration in the scheduling. I should be skating again by the time they pull the turf off at the Plex.

Ouch. I guess this is going to effect your entry in this year's World's Strongest Man competition?

I really thought this would be the year you'd own the Swedes. Damn.

(But seriously Chris, get better quickly!)

Cheers,
Dave

Make sure you get enough vicodin for everyone, please. :)

At just over $2/dozen, that wouldn't be a problem, except that I'm only allowed one refill...

Besides, Brett Favre has already called dibs on any extras.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm, Vicodin.

I had Pneumonia during the 2000 election "whatever"...I sat in bed, high as a kite eating crushed ice with vanilla syrup and watched news 24/7 happy as a clam :)
Ahhh...the memories......

You're not supposed to try to lift ALL of the project's documentation by yourself. I cannot imagine that it has gotten any smaller than I remember it being.

btw, general geek tradition would have "the other other hand" called "the gripping hand" (from 'The Mote in God's Eye' by Niven & Pournelle).

I think the project documentation today, on CD, weighs more than the project documentation when you left, on paper.

And of course it would be 'gripping hand,' if I were speaking Geek. Unfortunately, I was speaking Severely Medicated.
