I don't want this to be happening!

My left knee hurts. A lot. Especially when I get up after sitting a while. Because I haven't wanted to exacerbate whatever is wrong, I haven't worked out in a week. That makes me feel lazy and look fat, fat, fat.

Tomorrow I'm going to walk my 10,000 steps en route to the family Easter celebration. I'll see how it feels after that. If it doesn't start feeling better soon, I'm going to have to go to the doctor.

My fear is that it's arthritis. I really don't want to hear that word, "arthritis." I feel like I'm falling apart. Who was it who said, "Growing old is not for sissies?"

When my heroes come together

Last night I was able to watch my beloved Greg Maddux pitch his first home opener as a Padre, thanks to Senator John Kerry. If it wasn't for the Senator, the Comcast cable system wouldn't have been able to show this game. As the Boston Herald put it:

Kerry goes to bat

Baseball fans were showering John Kerry with love yesterday after the junior senator got Major League Baseball to agree to allow three of the nation’s largest cable providers to keep carrying its “Extra Innings” package of out-of-market games.

Of course, the sixth inning last night was beyond the Senator's control. Poor Greg.

But hey! The Cubs won!
