All fixed up. My new friend and chili fan, Dr. Robertson, got after me with his arthroscope yesterday and removed the torn cartilage in my knee. I'll be ready for dancing on the tables real soon.

Actually, modern medical procedures are great. I had the same thing done on the other knee many years ago. I was laid up and in rehab for months. With the 'scope, I'm up and around and the crutches will go away next week.

Happy Birthday to Kevin Foley, Carol Gibbs, Jim Luhn, and Bernie Stout.
