A few neighborhood kids were pounding nails into their raft as they floated towards the point. I yelled "I'll call the coast guard in an hour!" they didn't seem to think that was funny.

In other news... My sister stayed with us last night. She performed three physical therapy sessions on my back in 24 hours. I think I'm feeling better, but it's tough to tell, pop another pain pill, ice pack, relax. I'm getting a spinal shot this tuesday or the following tuesday. The doc said I could watch the needle enter my spine on a tv screen... I wonder if he'll let me take a photo with my iPhone? :-)

Bestemor and Farfar have been entertaining the kids over the past two
days - Camp Watagua - complete with sleepovers, tents, mud pies, etc.
The kids are loving it. And were loving the break from mom and dad
duties.

With our new found freedom Jana and I had a long overdue date night
tonight. Thai food chased by a trip to the lovely nails shop next
door. Jana loves having her nails done, and now I understand why.
Tonight was my first time. I had two women working me over, constant
chatter, i was the only guy in the shop. It was great!

lame gimp

The wife and kids left town for two days... you know what that means? Party!! Woooo... OOooo... my back!! Ok, maybe I'll just party a little... OOOOHHH!! my frickin back!! Ok, now i know this is serious... The old andy (fun andy) would have made the MTV spring break party look like a warm-up event. I would have been up till 2am with all the other crazy neighbors... but not this time. My back pain has turned me into a person I don't even recognize. I have the entire house to myself and I've been in bed by 9pm every night. so very lame.

I'm getting a second opinion on my back next week. Then, it's probably time to go under the knife. I have been in serious pain for six weeks... i can't take it much longer.

So happy
