- I was planning on doing a post about my return to work, but realized that I had been lacking any real updates recently
- So you get a Random Shit post.
- Healing continues. Still some soreness around the largest of the six incision points. But overall doing well.
- The toes I smashed while on disability are also healing. Obviously not broken, but I'm still limping around. I would do this to my driving foot, right?
- Dreading how I'd handle to the return to the work schedule, I went to bed very early last night. This turned out to be wise.
- Going back was easier than I expected. A fairly light, but long, day helped.
- How long? 2 stops in Milpitas, 2 stops in Livermore going out, drop in Modesto, pick-up in Stockton, pick-up in Livermore, and a drop in Walnut Creek.
- It's that Walnut Creek drop that killed me.
- I wasn't even in my truck. Evidently no one told the crew that loads them that I was coming back, so all the LV material was loaded in Raul's truck.
- But I survived, and learned that one of our sales dudes also had his gall bladder out about this time last year... after a massive attack on Christmas Eve!
- Re-learning food is progressing. Saturday we ordered a pizza strike. I ate an entire pepperoni and sausage pizza, less one slice, with not a hint of trouble. Huzzah!
- I think I may have found the guy who did my tattoo after all these years.
- Seen driving down 680 in Fremont, a Ford truck with a terribly drawn advertisement done on the back window in those markers that have become so popular. Off-center, poorly-proportioned, badly composed. But that wasn't the worst.
- In giant block letters he was proudly announcing that he was "Forever You're's Tattoos"
- No, I didn't get a picture.
- Great news from the baseball world, Giants' (and Sunday Night Baseball) announcer Jon Miller has been named the recipient of the Ford Frick Award.
- That gives us three microphones on our Wall of Fame inside the park, Russ Hodges, Lon Simmons, and now Jon.
- 16 days until pitcher and catchers report in Scottsdale!
- GO GIANTS!
- Oh, one of Jon miller's great moments.. Ruben Rivera and the "Worst baserunning in history." Enjoy!
