April 2010 Archives

04.16.2010

Sometimes mother nature has other plans for my body than I do. This week it happens to be some twisted combination of a sinus infection and bronchitis/pneumonia and crazy body aches. Lest you think I'm being overly dramatic, I've never taken only one sick day in the nearly 20 years I've been working in medicine. I've taken 4 in a row this week. That means I'm getting my ass seriously kicked. No gym, no training. Crazy. My chocolate lab, Chloe, is loving the increased couch time we're having.

Of course, when you have friends like Dave Mirra, it precludes any whining. When Dave gets sick, he goes big. His recent bout of bacterial meningitis means that I don't have ANYTHING to complain about. Although I still whine when no one can hear me. ;-) Thanks to Dave, I can't really complain until it's something really bad. It's like that scene with Lance Armstrong and Vince Vaughn in the movie Dodgeball. Watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQ4E1cxLJ4

So, the ritual of rice bag heating, motrin, tylenol, antibiotic and Robitussin DM continues. To say I'm stir crazy is an understatement. Work at the office will be attempted this afternoon.

This weekend will be a work weekend on the rally car. How much work I'll be able to do remains to be seen. They might have to put me outside the shop in a folding chair to supervise(which will also drive me crazy). The list of work for the car remains long as usual, and we want to attend the Team O'Neil Rally in early May ready to go!

I recently attended a workshop at Bowdoin College that was an introduction to the Russian Martial Art of Systema. Lead instructor Max Franz led us through two days of eye-opening concepts and movements. Incredible stuff and something that has opened my eyes to other possibilities. Thanks to Max for instructing and Dameron for arranging the workshop!
