Time to dust things off and get comforatable again.

I have been gone, actually not really gone, just not posting. I suppose you could argue that the two are not mutually exclusive and may in fact be the same. If your not posting then your wired presence is gone. Interesting argument if your inclined to argue over banalities. Anyway... back to the more salient point, which is...why? The why, is surgery. I had a total knee replacement on June 10th. Doc warned me there would be allot of pain, she emphasized that many times so there would be no misunderstanding about what was about to happen. When pain wasn't the subject the long recovery was. This was not gonna be a walk  in the park and I can confirm that it was not a walk in anything. Pain? It was there, always, for the first 3 weeks but you've got lots of medicine to take to help you get through this trial. The downside is the medicines, mostly painkillers, they have the effect on me of turning off my general interest in things. You have got to be interested in speaking your mind to blog and you must be interested in other people reading your stuff to blog, and I just was too numb. Now, I'm not numb and the whole world seems to have decided to give me all kinda stuff to discuss with you from Egypt to a President I think really doesn't like me. Lots of low hanging fruit to pick and ponder and I mean to pick it all.
