Haven't seen you in a while. How've you been? (Music reference - opening line of "We Just Disagree" by Dave Mason). But seriously .... been away...at the shore for a week where we got in some great kayaking, a little swimming, and some good riding. AND took in some awesome fireworks with Midge and Tim in Avalon. It really was a great week.
Just checking in briefly and then heading to DC tomorrow for nephew Michael Stefanski's wedding. Quick update though- I do have a medial meniscus tear to the right knee and we are going to repair it athroscopically next Thursday, 7/17. I say "we" because I want to be awake for this and learn a thing or two about knee repairs. Hopefully my bounce back time will be short and sweet. I still fully expect to race an ultra distance triathlon and a marathon in the fall. No worries. I'm actually looking forward to getting it done so I can be pain free. It's funny though...I can ride my ass off and feel no pain at all. Then it will hurt like hell driving in the car.
If you haven't guessed, I am somewhat of a music junkie and had a junkie moment last night. We all went to see the movie "Get Smart" I am a big Steve Carell fan. When the opening credits scrolled up the screen I saw that the soundtrack was scored by Trevor Rabin. I knew Trevor played with a later generation of YES but forgot who else he played with. And it was killing me. I swore he also played with The Buggles and possibly Asia. So I called fellow junkie Steve McFadden and he set me straight immediately. NO he said - Rabin only played with YES. Trevor HORN was a Buggle who also played with YES. And another Buggle - Geoff Downes also played with Asia and had a short stint with YES in 1980. He went on to tell me "Your dots are connected, they are just a little crooked". I just laughed out loud on the phone. I knew Steve would be able to set me straight. He and I had a lot of fun at concerts and listening to music and reading liner notes for hours on end. Just thought I would share that piece of useless information.
Talk after DC.
Peace
