The MS Runner

And it’s not from work.  I can’t remember the last time I took a whole week off from work actually.  But I’m taking a week off of running.  The knee is not getting any better and actually it took a U-turn this past week.  I was feeling pretty decent and starting to ramp up my mileage, when BAM!  Batman hit me.  I mean my knee started hurting again.  I went 10 miles on Saturday, and then paid the price the rest of the day.  It swelled up bigger than my head swells when I finish the word search puzzle in the comic section of the newspaper.

So here I am, drinking beer, and wondering why I’m still a Detroit Lions fan.  They lost this past weekend to Atlanta which is about as bad as losing……aarrgghh.  I can’t think of a good example.  Or bad example as the case may be.

So let’s talk about something else.  You go first.

I’m waiting.

Oh well, talk amongst yourselves.  I’ll give you a topic.  Civil War.  It was neither Civil, nor a War.  Discuss.

Isn’t Mike Myers the best?

Anyway, hockey season starts soon, and the Detroit Red Wings should be favored to win it all again.  They just resigned 46 year old Chris Chelios, so who can beat them now?  I hear Gordie Howe is a free agent.  And then of course, basketball starts again.  Oh boy.  They play like 800 games a year, so wake me up when they have 10 left.  And it’s the 4th quarter.

Thank you and good night.
