Back With a Capital Vengence!

First day no crutches! Best Christmas present ever. Please hold the Tiny Tim jokes. Merry Christmas all!

5 minutes on my Dad's bike on zero degree "sun" porch watching bald eagles pluck ducks out of the river for Christmas dinner. For reals!

I remember when seeing a bald eagle was a huge deal and now there is a crew of 10 eagles chilling in my parents hood. I saw SEVEN of them on Christmas morning.  

AM: 20 minutes bike at my mom's gym which used to be a Thai/Laotian restaurant that I worked at the summer after my first year in college. I wanted to get a job waiting tables, but couldn't find one because everyone wanted someone with experience so when I saw a "Help Wanted" sign at Kham Orient I went in and asked for an application in which the owner replied, "Go home, put white shirt black pants on, come back!" And that I did and waited my first tables a few hours later with absolutely no training nor knowledge of Asian food whatsoever. That summer I learned more about people and culture and pretty much everything than any summer ever!  

AM: 25 minutes bike and hip PT routine. Now that I am finally 6 weeks post-op I can add a little resistance to the bike. Stoke.
