That doesn't sound like fun at all. If someone hurt you, I'd be happy to roundhouse them for you.<br /><br />I tried to enjoy every second of the summer too, and for the most part, I succeeded. It was absolutely gorgeous here this year. I didn't get as much writing done as I'd hoped, and tanked on the marketing, but had lots of quality time with the people I love.J.H.

Of course, I'm suffering now as I make batches of spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce for the freezer.<br /><br />Also came to accept the fact my other knee can't wait any longer for replacement. I'm scheduled to do that early in November. Really wanted to enjoy the whole summer and early fall first.
