  • Coming back to life

    Well its taken almost two weeks, but I’m finally starting to do some of the things I used to do. Still can’t pick up the kids (or wrestle 🙁 ), but I am able to go out and get sround reasonably well. The thing thats giving me the most trouble now is something I didn’t…

  • Trying to work

    Tried to get in some work yesterday. Spent all day sitting upright and as a result my left leg was painfully swollen at the end of the day. It really was quite grotesque if I do say so myself. It’s better this morning, but I learned my lesson (for a day or two anyway): I’ve…

  • Doctor's visit

    Went to my second doctor’s visit today (so little happened at the first, that I didn’t even bother to blog about it). Some good news: no infections in my sutures and my bones seem to be setting properly. Still no definitive word on recovery time, but it looks like it’ll be 3-4 weeks before I…

  • Recovery

    The doctor that was so insistent that I have a brace for my dislocated shoulder was now saying that was the least of my problems as soon as I told her that with both my arms bound up, I has no leverage to get up or sit down. She really wanted to get me out…

  • Crashed my Bike – part 2

    So after I fixed my own arm, my mom and sister showed up. They were understandably concerned, but overall relieved. They came in along with the doctor/nurse who were going to stitch up my foot. When I had the wreck, the only injury was immediately aware of was my foot. I had broken my ankle…

  • Crashed my bike

    Crashed my motorcycle on Memorial day. Ended up with a broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder, a sliced up leg and foot and copious amounts of road rash. Honestly, I’m lucky to be typing at all right now. I was travelling eastbound on KY 18, a divided 4 lane highway. I was approaching a section where…

  • Incredible speakers

    In the last 10 days I’ve been able to see and listen to an incredible list of speakers: Rudy Giuliani, Jim Collins, Micheal Porter, Bill Clinton, Lou Gerstner, Jac Welch and Oliver North. Most of them I got a chance to see at the World Business Forum in NYC and Oliver North I got to…

  • Great time in NYC

    Well, we’re having a great time in NYC. It was a little cold yesterday (my wife says no matter when she comes from now on she’s bringing a coat). We went to the Natural History Museum and walked around for hours. The coolest thing (for me anyway) was the pieces of meteorites they have displayed…

  • New York, New York

    My wife and I are taking a little trip up to NYC tomorrow. I have a conference to attend there on Monday and Tuesday, so I set it up for us to go a little early and see a show and have some dinner. I love NYC. We went there about a year ago and…
