Hello, is there anybody there?
Well, I know that you come here to look or you would not be seeing this. But the we have not seen too many new posts here lately. I guess we each think that what is happening in our lives is not interesting to each other, that we are all too boring. I think that is not true. I love to read a quick note about what each of you is doing in your life. I do not get to see the rest of you much so please, just leave a quick note to keep me in your life.
Now, I realize that I have been just as guilty as anyone on this regard. I have not had much to say because I was slowed down by my recovery from the knee replacement. And then when that was over I got reduced at work from full time to adjunct instructor. I do not feel good about myself when I am out of work. I am sure that some of you can relate to that. Or at least appreciate it.
So, I will post about each of those subjects. I have been on the mend regarding the knee. I have to give it a good workout each day to keep the adhesions from forming. They tell me that the fact that I am relatively young for this procedure and fairly muscular means that I expect to have a harder time with this than an older fellow. So (almost) every day I go for a bike ride or exercise it. I have ridden up to twenty miles on my bike. I broke the frame on my blue (fast) bike. I was trying to jump on it at the bottom of a hill to catch another bicycles and the frame cracked at the rear dropout (where the rear wheel sits). I guess I am too strong and too heavy. So now I have to ride my brown touring bike, which is much slower.
When I got released from physical therapy they gave me a one month free pass to the Omni gym, which is in the same building as the therapy place and also owned by St. Mary's hospital. I activated it last week and have been there every day but one (Sunday) since. I realized two thing: (1) that I really miss working out on a regular basis. (2) that I have not been working out and have lost a lot of muscle tone. So I have been a little sore the last few days, but it is the good kind of sore. I wish I could afford to join at the end of the month, but they get $55/month there. Nice place; good machines, two pools, sauna, whirlpool, steam room. But it is nine miles from here in the wrong direction.
I have been trying to find a job that works for me. I have been looking online but not getting much response. Yesterday I found one I really liked, submitted my resume and cover letter and have an interview at 8:30 tomorrow morning. It is with a manufacturing firm in Alsip that makes long-life lighting systems. Litetronics makes those circular bulbs that you can use to replace your cheaper bulbs that burn out quickly. The big part of their business is for signs and hard to get at bulbs. They are looking for an IT Manager, but that I would be the entire department. That is what I did at AIT for several years till the place grew and we needed more staff.
Valerie is feeling better since her surgery. She often feels REAL good then does too much and gets knocked back down. This has been happening less and less so she is looking for the next step.
Jennell, Jay, Joanne, John and all you non-J people who stop here; post a little bit about your lives, we love to read it.

Thank you for allowing me to post on the blog. At my age, just remembering where to find the computer is an accomplishment. And now that I remember the password, I'll be posting again, I'm sure. Let's see if this works.
