Dick,

Does this give you the former Johnny Damon look?

I've had both rotator cuffs repaired. I then spent months
after each surgery muttering "shoot me, please somebody
shoot me."

I'm mostly ambidextrous, but shaving left-handed was a new
experience complete with multiple cuts each time.

I try not to shave more than twice a year.

Perhaps you can use a variation of a proof one of my math
profs used to prove that every number is an "interesting"
number.

First make a list of all "special" occasions. Every other
date would be on a list of not-special occasions.

But then take a look at the first day of the year that is
not a special occasion - let's say it's January 2. Well,
being the first day that's not a special occasion makes it a
pretty special occasion! So you put it on that other list.

But then, January 3 is the earliest day of the year that's
on the list of not-special occasions. It qualifies as a
special occasion for that reason!

And so on.

I consider the ringing of my telephone, a television
commercial, and turning the page in a book to be special
occasions. Susan disagrees. She also doesn't understand
that you can't maintain a bar bill and a "C" average.

Part of my deal with Susan to setup a ~home brewery~ was
I'd only buy liquor on special ocassions. So I have some
fair mead aging. However, most beers age out in three to
four weeks.

Do make sure you get the proper pain medications. Many
doctors are either unaware or don't care. Jane Brody (I
believe that's who it was and the correct spelling) had some
first person experiences about her knee surgery in a few of
her NY Times columns, that were *not* funny.

A coworker (MD himself) had some choice remarks after
undergoing hefty dental work. The next time he was rather
more assertive.

MY "Butchers-of-Choice" are Greater Chesapeake Orthopaedic.
They are so good that 70 hours after the surgery, the pain
is now bearable.

Much to my amazement, you are not on my list of alcohol
