Knee Update

Well, as some of you may or may not have known, back in the third week of September I began a Half Marathon training program. I was successfully able to complete the first six weeks before I had some knee trouble. Unfortunately for me it was the same knee that I had surgically repaired last year after tearing my left ACL.

I began having a good amount of swelling and fluid build up on my knee at the surgical incision site. I took last week off of running and visited the doctor on Thursday for a check-up. They could see there was a bit of an infection at the incision site and gave me some antibiotics to combat that and set me up with a follow-up appointment for Monday (yesterday).

Maria M. 11:25pm: No way! Were you one of the morons that ran on the field before it was over? You are so lucky that didn’t go badly! (Katie and I made sure there was no time on the clock before we ran on the field.)
Anthony B. 11:25pm: I have no words to describe what just happened with that game. (UT grad, bf from high school)
Anthony B. 11:32pm: Wow…that’s all I have to say, better run the table or else this will be for nothing.

Stars Win, KISS loses

KISS TributeTonight my Dad and I went to the Dallas vs. Minnesota Wild game at American Airlines Center. It was pretty great. The jumped out to an early lead only 13 seconds in and that pretty much set the tone for the rest of the night with them winning 4-2 and thoroughly dominating Minnesota.

Anyways, obviously it’s near , so lots of crazy and promotions happen around this time of year. It just so happens that prior to the game a KISS tribute band from Dallas named Destroyer played in the plaza outside the south entrance to the AAC. These guys were pretty lame and anyone that knows me knows that I’m not the most P.C. guy around and make my fair share of inappropriate jokes but when my Dad mentions how fruity you are as “Paul Stanley” then that’s not a good thing.

Mosquitos Suck

Mosquitos…both literally and figuratively. There are many things you can count on in life and one of those things is that mosquitos are a pain in the ass, or in my case, a pain in the hand. I got murdered by thousands of these little suckers at Camp Rio Blanco in Crosbyton, TX this weekend while helping out at 39. One of them managed to find a crease inside my palm and it won’t stop itching! Oh well, a small price to pay, right?

Burn After Reading

Burn After Reading

…is hilariously morbid. I’m pretty sure the only way you will like this movie is if you are a big fan of The Big Lebowski. Katie and I saw this for free at the Studio Movie Grill in Plano on Wednesday. I laughed so hard at a few parts I cried. I also think that unless you are perhaps 35 or younger, or have the humor of someone that age, you probably won’t enjoy it as much as Katie and I did.
