THE DAILY DIVERSION

What a crazy night of sleep I had! Because of it, I feel like I didn't sleep at all. There are only two things that I can blame it on though... Beer (Blue Moon to be exact) and Indian food. I didn't take any sleep aids or sinus pills last night, so that doesn't help. I had some crazy-assed dreams in there, one of which makes me realize that my wife is actually going to be working very, very soon!

I can't remember the dreams, but I know I had at least four of them, and one of my wife and I talking about her teaching and the kids and stuff. This is nearly amusing, because we had a good discussion about it while we were eating dinner.

For dinner I made some Korma Coconut chicken over Basmati rice. Yes, it's as tasty as it sounds. Actually, I was very, very pleased with how it turned out. I had some expectations, and it fully exceeded them. I think it'll be a long time before I head to India Palace, now, since it cost me less than five dollars for the whole meal, and I have enough leftover for another serving. The only thing we were missing was the Naan, and we're going to get that next time!

After dinner we met Mary Jo up on the rooftop to enjoy a cold beverage and a beautiful evening. We just barely missed the sunset, but that's okay. I may complain about the heat during the day, but the evenings have been nothing short of gorgeous! For some reason the humidity has been dissipating and there's been a wonderful breeze floating through downtown. Who could ask for anything more? TOYOTA!

One last tidbit... Those close to me already know this, but I had knee surgery back in 1994 (to remove a bone spur on my left knee). Anyway, for some crazy reason, I've, just now, started to really have some problems with it again. I can't leave my knee in any one position for more than about 15 seconds or it gets stiff and I can't move it to another position without some excruciating pain. Yeah, this doesn't really work into my sleeping schedule, as you could guess. So, right now, Adrianne and I are trying to figure out what kind of dietary supplement may help my problem. We've researched cherry juice, since it's supposed to be good for arthritis, which is what we're figuring my problem is (more like hoping, anyway). I've been on a steady stream of Tylenol and Advil for the past two weeks, and, truthfully, it's getting pretty old. But, some days are better than others, but it's really putting a damper on my walking up and down stairs (to get a little exercise in).

Oh well, there's the installment for today. I've got a big day of sifting through information! Hopefully I can find what I'm looking for! Damn, I wish "Zombie Day" was still here!
