I was looking at this blog yesterday and thought OMG, I just need to lighten up. Not that it's not good to acknowledge the passage of time and that it's completely normal to grieve the loss of loved ones (especially a dad) but there is more going on in my life than just being sad because I don't get to talk to my Dad in person. So, today I was thinkin...I need to write a new blog entry. But what do I write about?
Tiger...Did you see the US Open from Torrey Pines this past weekend? On Saturday, I thought Tiger's play on 17 & 18 was nothing short of spectacular and some of the best sports I've ever seen. It was so obvious he was in a great deal of pain and it was like his natural ability and instinct kicked in and he just did whatever it took to get off the course and get out of pain. His play on Sunday to tie Rocco and then the same on Monday was just awesome. It's even more incredible today to find out he played 91 holes of golf with a tibial stress fracture and a torn ACL. Most of us would be on the couch sucking on a bottle of Vicodin Water.....
Tennis....And I use the term loosely. My roommate and I have been going to the tennis courts this week to hit some balls around. Let me just say right now....we totally suck. Enthusiasm, we've got plenty of....skill - not so much. It will get better.
Knitting - The good news: I have finished all the pieces of the Cabled Cardigan. The bad news: I can't sew the sleeves on to save my life. I have sewn the right sleeve on twice and ripped it out twice. They say the third time's a charm. I must finish it so I can start on something new. What is it that I think I need to finish something before I start something new? Character flaw? Certainly not extreme knitterly behavior.
I think I'm all blogged out.....

Dear Mary Pat,
I tried to reach you on linkedin. My name is Renee Stein. You were the first person (the nicest and sweetest)I meet while working at Lee Memorial Hospital. I worked in the OHICU. I kow you have met a million people in your profession, but I was hoping you would remember me. I was much younger then and had three small children. One who was terminally ill and seeing Dr. Salman. Anyhow, that was a long time ago. When I joined linked in your name came up as a Lee employee and I just wanted to say "hi" and thanks for being the wonderfully nice person that you are. I was also wondering if Eleana were still at Lee. Last I knew she was in Education. Take care and thanks once again for your kind words.
Renee Stein
