Our guitar group has been exploring blues artists looking for new songs. I had never heard of Keb' Mo', but now I've been binging his albums.

My favorite because I once worked on a corporate system that literally depended on a PC stashed under someone's desk. (And had the vapors when we discovered it!)

I'm sure you've heard it before; our financial guy talks about the three stages of retirement: the go-go years, the slow-go years and the no-go years. He says it's important to be able to recognize the transition from one to another and to get done, in each one, the things that you won't be able...

Yes, several.

I've mentioned this before, but my maternal Grandmother was a fan of nonsense sayings. My favorite was "If you get there first make a mark on the door and if I get there first I'll erase it."

Just added a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Mustang bass in surf green to my collection.

Memory trigger: The summer I was leaving to go to college I decided that I needed something green in the dorm room. I went to the plant shop and asked about something green that didn't require lots of fussing with. The lady showed me a Schefflera and said it was all green, no flowers, and all...

It may be trite, but Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead. They were really the first books that made me actually spend time thinking about the ideas that were espoused and her Objectivist philosophy. Not that I necessarily bought into it all, but I really spent time thinking about the...

For my mid-life crisis, instead of a little red sports car, I gave myself singing lessons. After 4 years my teacher decided to move back to Sweden, and she convinced me to give a personal recital before she left. For some unknown reason, I decided to hire a caricature artist to make this drawing...

I'm 12 weeks out and my knee still feels like a box of rocks rattling around when I walk. As you say, it's considered normal and will likely get better over time as things tighten up.

Always coffee. Most days a bowl of Cheerios, sometimes with a banana. Some days, oatmeal. When the grandkids spend the night, chocolate chip pancakes and bacon.

I'm kind of the opposite. Both my legs were bowed outward so now the right is straight, but the left is still bowed so it's shorter than the right. Probably gonna have it done about this time next year. In the meantime, the PT gave me some heel lifts for the left shoe that makes a difference...

Good luck and good recovery! I'm 9 1/2 weeks out from my getting my right knee replaced and all is going well here. Remember heel slides are your friend - no matter how much it hurts. I spent the money on an ice therapy machine and it was worth it. I hope you get a good PT team - I think that...

I mentioned this in a previous thread on this. Seeing large numbers of unread messages makes me twitch. Not sure how it started, but I have to, at least, look at an email as soon as I know it's there. I may not action it right away - I do have a ToDo folder for those. I would see co-workers with...
