New Knees

We leave the house in twenty minutes at 4:20 AM with one stop to pick up my brother, Brian, in Cambridge, to catch a 6:30 flight to Evansville, Indiana. I hope to update the blog from afar, but who knows.

In the meantime, here is a photo that will surely raise questions such as: why (did you take it), how( did you get permission), and what (is it about your personality that weedles it’s way into those you simply build things for)? For the squeamish, these are the new knees (under the staples) of a native Michigander, and longtime golf pro at our local country club. He’s only about sixty, but he’s been walking backwards down strairs for years,and it is painful to even the casual observer to watch him get up from a sitting position. But no more.

I joke about the four blog readers, but this month has shown a record number of visitors. This graph shows growth in years with the tall purple columns representing 2005. Although the stats are for mainecourse.com, it is the blog that has pushed those columns up.

Flattered by rakkity's flower comment, I snapped another . The blue is the sky through our kitchen window.

Those are the legs of a 60 year old man? He's in great shape...I would have guessed a 20 something pair of legs. The knee on the right looks like they stapled it straight and then re-did it. New knees are good things. Good luck to him.

Somehow you keep an orchid alive through brutal New England winters--is it just to show us these photos (which I'm secretly selling for $umpteen a pop;-)?
Keep it up!

The guy's lucky they didn't outsource the knee job to Singapore or HongKong. I kid you not--there are businesses starting to do just that as part of their corporate healthcare plans.
USA.
