I’ve been absent from here lately… On November 5th, I had my sixth knee surgery (the third in the last three years). It’s consumed my life. The recovery gets harder every single time. I will be non-weight bearing for 6-8 Continue reading 2012 Week #45 and 46
I’ve been planning on taking my dad to the Lemay Auto Museum in Tacoma every since I found out that they were building a new facility. We learned while we were there that it’s the largest auto museum in North Continue reading 2012 Week #44
