There's a new photographic challenge at sh1ft.org and I just finished my results and got them posted on a new blog, created just for showing sherle's projects.

Today we attended an orientation for 'joint camp' - which I will be attending beginning November 2 this year. What's joint camp? It's a two day intensive physical therapy routine for people who have just had joint replacement surgery. I will be among that group as of November 1. I'm sure glad we attended this class early because now I'm all set to get ready for this big event in my life.

Am I scared? No. Am I worried about all that pain? No, not really. I'd rather have a big pain for a little while than continual pain all the time. Looking forward to it. The left knee, which hurts worse, will be the first one for replacement. Will probably have the second one replaced as soon as possible after that. With any luck at all it will be all over before the next summer season begins.

On a totally 'nuther topic, I found the chocolate oatmeal no-cook recipe Otto was looking for. It's on this page.

Martha talked today to the press and I just happened to have the FOX news channel on when I heard her voice and listened to her. I admire that woman! I admire her a lot! This legal mess has kept her life all tangled for over two years now and we can certainly sympathize with her. The prosecution does everything possible to wear down the victim... whoops, excuse me; I guess we're supposed to call her the accused!

Martha has a huge following of people who have sent emails supporting her and her many endeavors. Click on her link above and drop her a line.

Thanks OttO! These questions were fun, even though I wrote them! ;-)

Captain of my ship... master of my fate..... hmmm! I should know who said that. I don't. Guess I'll have to google it, eh? ...and no comments about the goofy hat, please. It does the job!

My new boat - freshly launched - going from Sharba & Kevvy's tender loving care to equally caring hands of frank'nsherle! Yes, she's mine... just ask Frank! I took her on our maiden voyage, including in and out of the dock. Hey, all it takes is a good deck hand or two... and I was that for years! Now it's my turn to be Captain.

I finally did it!

Well... I tried before but didn't save anything. Here's what typoGenerator created for me when I typed in Grumbleeze! Try it; it's fun!

Actually I made a bunch of them and saved them to my hard drive! Couldn't put 'em all up though. Darn!
