- I have back issues. I've had two surgeries on my lower back so far and at this rate there's at least one more in my future. I do my exercises every morning but I still have days where I just don't want to move - or sit still, nothing is comfortable. Recently it has been very uncomfortable and I've missed some work. All I can do is keep on carrying on and try to keep it as best I can, until I can't. Everybody has something and this is the monkey on my back, so to speak. Sigh.
- Before the holidays I noticed a little leak downstairs when we ran the dishwasher. It took some time, but the problem was finally diagnosed and it was not good. The repair would cost almost as much as we spent on the dishwasher less than 6 years ago. We didn't even consider repairing it and ordered a new one, hopefully a better one. We took some advice from the repairman and have the new dishwasher ordered for delivery and installation in a few weeks. The leak is too bad to run the current dishwasher anymore so until the new one is installed we have to hand wash everything. Good times. First world problem, right?
- When I was off work the other day I thought I would run past Ella's Deli right when they opened at 11 am. I was thinking I could get some pictures before they got busy. I grossly underestimated the local sentiment for the restaurant. When I drove over I went straight past as the parking lot was full and they were lined up out to the street waiting to get in. I was hoping to stop one last time before they close for good tomorrow, but I'm not willing to fight the crowds to do it. I'll cherish the memories I have of this Madison institution - and there's tons of pictures already on google images.
I guess I can't think of much more to say right now, so just a short one. Tonight we are going out to dinner, celebrating my wife's birthday at another great local restaurant, Cafe La Bellitalia. Probably the best Italian restaurant that we've found in the area. Just with friends Terry and Becky this year. I'm understanding more how a winter birthday is unfortunate, and it happens every single year. I must admit, summer birthdays seem more fun. No matter what, it's still your birthday. Happy birthday, Kate!

I hope the back issues are eventually sorted. It isn't until we get older that we realise how important health really is.
I have never used a dish washer although there was one at work that frequently broke down. I have never known a machine cause so much friction amongst staff. We never used it as hand washing was easier and we thought it best to leave well alone! I hope your wife enjoyed her birthday and you all had a good night out.
The back is chronic, just a matter of dealing with it. Bending over a sink to do dishes does not help matters.
And we did have a nice night out, thanks!
