It’s Thursday. My girlfriend had her knee replacement surgery yesterday and everything went very well. Things did get a bit scary though roughly an hour and a half into the surgery when we were called up to the front desk to take a call from the surgeon. I just looked at the others and felt this couldn’t be a good thing because she was at best only halfway into the procedure, so I was expecting something bad. It turned out she was calling to let us know that she was done and that everything went smoothly. That was a relief.

She was in recovery for a couple hours and then taken to her room. She will meet with a physical therapist in the morning and will then hopefully be released sometime in the afternoon. So glad everything went well.

And no, that’s not a photo of her doctor. I wouldn’t have minded if it were, though…

It’s Wednesday. I was going through my email the other day and came across an amateur photo from a reader that I somehow misplaced. So, I thought a little mid-week amateur goodness was in order. Enjoy!

It’s Tuesday. So, if you’re reading this then there’s a good chance that you heeded the warnings and used glasses while checking out the eclipse yesterday. Though we were just outside the totality zone, here in the Chicagoland area we had perfect conditions with clear blue skies. As you can see in the photo, it didn’t get completely dark, but it was still pretty cool.

I was driving into town when the eclipse was just getting started. It was funny because along the way, everywhere I looked there were groups of people all standing around peering into the sky with goofy glasses on.

Until next time, eh…
