Thanks for lots of get well wishes from you amigos aout there… and to love-of-my life Karen and the kiddos for coming to visit me… that made a world of difference honey… thanks…

And I can’t sleep…

And it’s cold here… f*$@kin’ cold… 

On a more positive note… so as not to be a complete whining biznatch… I’ve been wrestling with the lil’ morsel o’ technology that is our wireless router and trying to allow love-of-my-life Karen’s new work laptop to connect properly… a challenge given the (IMHO) bizarre way that her IT department has set the thing up… well after about three weeks of thinking about it & a couple of days of really going at it success is ours… go team!!!…

We’ll skip the details but I seem to have developed one of these hernias that I’ve heard so much about… luckily(*) we live super close to what I come to find is one of the most rippin’-est (in a “cool” way… not, I’m hoping, in a literal sense) hernia fixin’ joints out there – Shouldice Hospital… where I am officially scheduled for a surgical-type visit in less than a month… 

And its kinda freakin’ me out… mainly due to the fact that they only use a local anesthetic… I think I’d prefer to be taking a nice little nap whilst this event goes down… the last time I had a “procedure” done under a local was when I did my part to ensure our family population stays locked at four… and that blew… hopefully this will be significantly lovelier…

Maybe they’ll let me take a few pictures while its all going down… 

(*) err… lucky would maybe be not having one in the first place
