  1. Mabe: A strange Story

    by , 12-19-2007 at 10:27 AM
    All I want for Christmas is my old, 2006 health back. I don't care about the appearance, I just want the functionality and lack of pain restored.

    I've been icing the knee as much as possible and I am freezing cold alll the way through.

    On the plus side, I can now sit back on my heels. I make *justkillmenow* faces while trying to do this but I can touch my heels to my butt if I work at it.

    The tennis elbow is slowly improving and the right shoulder still aches. ...

  2. Out of the fryingpan, & avoiding the fire

    by , 12-18-2007 at 08:30 PM
    Terry's knees were still bothering him, and he has made a doctor's appointment, so I sent him to sports study hall again. Henry's heel was better today, but he was on a choir trip. Rick, after getting a detention for throwing his books with force at the head of a friend, was discovered to have done something even more heinous and will be out of school for the rest of the week along with a couple of classmates who were partners in heinousness. Therefore, I had only seven boys for fencing. ...

  3. Easily bored.

    by , 12-18-2007 at 11:46 AM
    I don't get out much. I don't make it to a lot of tournaments. So when one gets scheduled that makes me happy to be alive, I'm pleased as punch. particularly when it's a Grownups-Only event.

    So when that same tournament is cancelled (From Fred... "The Vet event, while much smaller in scope, is being pushed out or possibly cancelled"), I am unhappy indeed.

    All because some lame-ass snow storm that dumped about a foot of snow and ice on us (c'mon, it's New England ...

  4. Three Strikes

    by , 12-17-2007 at 09:56 PM
    Terry's knees were bothering him so much, I sent him to sports study hall. Henry's heel was bothering him, and Rick forgot his sneakers. It was nice not having Terry today, because though he's a cheerful soul he doesn't shut up and he wants to talk to me all the way over to the college and all the way back. This time I got to chat with Cal about the cooking classes he has taken. He's a big genial eleven-year-old with a shock of blond hair.

    I had the boys line up and show me the ...

  5. 1000 germ factories

    by , 12-15-2007 at 06:56 PM (Greybeard's Brain Blog)
    Another day at the club fencing the pups. I finally told myself to get off my fat butt and get in to fence. I WANT to fence, but by 7:00, when I would go to fence each night I am shot. Many times I am already asleep in the recliner. Fencing would not only be a bad idea but my driving would be hazardous to myself and to others.

    I have reached a 15 on a scale of 10 on the frustration scale. I was talking to someone at the club who I have not seen since the surgery and when he said ...
