Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> I've also noticed that if other parts of the body are also

 RH> And it seems they all wait until you want to settle down for the night
 RH> before kicking up.

 NB> Particularly if you are tired.

But of course! That's when they all start acting up.


 NB>  NB>> The more I know of injury first-hand, the more it amazes me how
 NB> fast  NB>> athletes get back into the game after theirs...  I suppose

 RH> They want to earn those performance bonuses. Anyway, what they get
 RH> paid, even while injured, buys a lot of groceries.

 NB> True enough.  Speaking of which (sorta)... Did you notice Tiger Woods?
 NB> I just heard today that he's going to have to repeat the surgery he
 NB> had on his knee, now that he managed to win the Masters despite the
 NB> falling apart again on him...  Also that he had broken the tibia in 2
 NB> places while doing the intensive PT needed to get ready for this golf

I heard about him and don't envy him the rehab on the knee.  He's best
keeping all weight off it until he has the surgery---if he can. He's got
a one year old to chase around. And, if his wife is still working (she's
a model), they won't be going on food stamps any time soon.


 RH> Sort of, depends on the unit. Some get very cohesive, others don't.
 RH> Our unit in HI had town hall meetings every other month with a cook out
 RH> & pot luck before hand. Usually the different companies were assigned

 NB> I imagine it depends somewhat on the leadership and how well they
 NB> encourage comraderie... and I'm sure that cooking and eating together
 NB> certainly helped that.  :)

It was always fun. Several of the local businesses usually donated small
prizes that were raffled off. One time Steve won a $100. gift
certificate to the Armed Forces hotel in Waikiki; we combined it with a
dinner and "Elvis" show package that I won at another event as a (one
week early) celebration of our 30th anniversary.


 NB> of laid-off  NB>> workers becoming entrepreneurs and starting their
 NB> own businesses.

 RH> Sounds interesting, any new restaurants coming out of it?

 NB> Some... but I think that new restaurants were happening even before
 NB> the major downsizings hit...  we have a lot of immigrant populations

Quite posibly but there may be more people deciding to try out the
business for themselves now.

 NB> since we are one of the designated resettling cities for immigration.
 NB> A restaurant offers a way to hire
 NB> new-to-town-can't-speak-the-language-yet fellow countrymen.  And of
 NB> course, that also makes for lots of ethnic
 NB> variety in restaurants here... :)  I have heard of some laid-off

And that's what makes for a fun place to live--getting the chance to try
all the new eateries. Probably a good number of them won't last too long
but a few will and become favorites of quite a few people in years to
come.

 NB> workers deciding that the time was right to finally open the
 NB> restaurant they had dreamed of having some day, though... :)

Dreams don't always translate well into reality so I hope these folks do
a lot of good planning first.

 NB>  NB>> totally different technology to produce similar (but superior)
 NB>  NB>> results.  But technology isn't always the easiest thing to
 NB> explain  NB>> to courts, etc.

 RH> Very true. (G) I had one of the cameras and did like it for on the
 RH> spot pictures of the girls.

 NB> We had one of them too, and used it quite a bit.

We used it as we could afford the film.  Had some tight times around
then so missed some cute pictures as we couldn't always buy film.
