7/7 Day

Always a good thing when the numbers match for a date.  I recall going to a memorable wedding on 7/7/07.  Hard to believe that one was 12 years ago.  As my friends remind me, "we're getting old."

Speaking of old, my recovery from open heart surgery continues to get a little better 1 day at a time.  Yesterday, I had some unusual tingling "pain" (not bad) but strange sypathetic feelings nonetheless.  I'm set to go visit the cardiac surgeon on Wednesday so hopefully I'll get some clearance to do more activity.  Or maybe he'll tell me to take it easy another 2 weeks.  We'll see.

I am sneaking a few drives in here and there.  I feel like when I was 15 years old and would sneak the family car out on Friday nights when my parents would go out.  I would mainly drive around the neighborhoods and tried not to let anyone see me.  Good practice was my thinking.  Usually I'd stop the car and practice a burnout.  Of course, since it was a family car, there was not much tire spinning and rubber burning but at least I gave it a shot.

Ah the 80s in Austin, TX.  Those were simpler time all around.  Not better, by any stretch, but simpler.  I don't want to go back that's for sure.  But it is fun to remember when.
