Do I feel lucky?
I found a total of 4 four-leaf clovers in my garden...
Is that a sign of good luck? Seema and I are gonna head out to Thunder Valley Casino and find out... if all else fails, at least I'll enjoy some FatBurger.

I'm back... (but not better than ever)!
2009 has not been kind to me or my body... I got laid off, and of course the economy has gone to sh*t, and to top it off I strained my hamstring at the end of January. Then I dislocated my thumb, which indirectly lead to me tearing something in my lower back.
You really don't realize how much you use your lower back until you can't! You use it for everything... and I do mean EVERYTHING! I couldn't put on my socks or tie my shoes; I couldn't walk very easily or even look down at my feet without pain. Heck, I couldn't even sit or sleep without pain. Virtually any movement resulted in pain. It was pretty bad, and just when I thought I was getting better, I strained the other side of my lower back. Needless to say, I appreciate my lower back a lot more now and will be paying a lot more attention to it and taking better care of it.
Now that I have a lot more time, I hope to post more frequently...
