more updates...

just realized that i haven't posted since friday's checkup... the good news is there's no bone chip, so no surgery is required. i'm still using the sling part time, but it's comfortable enough now that i can take it out to type, etc... still not enough pain-free range of motion to drive and the whole area starts to ache if i'm out of the sling for too long. i'm right handed, so being without the use of my right hand sucks... i'm trying to find a balance between comfort, convenience, and pain.

i might try setting up my road bike on the trainer tonight and see if i can find a postion that'll at least let me pedal easily for a while. actually, i think that getting the bike into the trainer will be more difficult than riding it.

hung out at the schaeffer demo day for a couple of hours on saturday, but couldn't do much except try to talk to the brave souls that came out to test bikes in the rain. heather and i stopped by the dogfish head restaurant on the way home... i tried the aprihop, which turned out to be a heartier-than-usual take on apricot flavored beer (like magic hat's number 9) and heather had a verdi verdi good which turned out to be... green. at first we thought it might be leftover from st. patricks day, but it turns out it's brewed with spirulina algae (which turns it green and adds some more protein to the beer).

it is their nature

let heather nurture you

What Joel said!

I never knew the Dogfish Brewhouse existed - I must check it out, since I've become a fan of their tasty (if overpriced) beverages.

I WILL get to the jersey design. Promise!
