It's November Baby!

Hey gang! How's it going, it's crazy how it's getting so dark so soon. I found myself nodding off the other day and it was only 6:30!

I went in to the back doctor and I was able to avoid the cortisone shot but the plan is to start going to a Physical Therapist. I'm looking forward to it and I think I've been able to get a better sense of what I need to do or better yet not do. The doc was able to diagnose me pretty quick and not the physical part, but rather the pattern of behavior that was contributing to my back pain. Basically, it's really a matter of not doing certain exercises in the gym and avoiding things that can contort or twist my back - it sucks getting old. It's especially hard considering I was such a superior athlete back in the glory days (ask Jimmy he knows).

I just finished Ratchet and Clank and the game is awesome! I'm looking forward to getting either Demon's Souls or Dragon's Origins - I hear it makes WOW look like kids play (sorry mom, but it's true). This is the time of year when the really sweet games come out and combined with it getting dark at 4:30 it's game on baby!

I'm looking forward to hopefully a successful football weekend - the Huskies play tomorrow and Holl and I are going to the Hawks game - Birds of Prey!!! I've been kicking some "a" in my fantasy league too so that's been lots of fun.

In other local news, our state passed Ref 71 (allows same sex couples to have the same rights married folks have excluding marriage) which of course has the christians in a tizzy which is usually not a difficult thing to do. Basically anything that relates to living in the 21st century upsets them. Apparently giving similar rights to a group of people who make up less than 1% our entire population is somehow a threat to traditional marriage. Considering 50% of hetero's get divorced, maybe they should focus their efforts elsewhere. For instance, my 401K is down 50% and my home has lost 20% of it's value over the last year and I think the Devil has something to do with it, or maybe Bank of America (perhaps they are one in the same?).

I almost forgot to mention, Holly and I will have some pics to post from Halloween last week. I was a Gladiator and she was a Hot Vampire. The night is still fuzzy although I think I lost some blood because I was feeling woozy. The last thing I remember was Holly saying she was thirsty...
