Snicker-snack Goes The Vorpal Laproscope

Well, tomorrow (today?) is the big day.  I'm going in to get my hernia fixed since my previous healing method of 'walk it off and ignore it' didn't seem to do the trick.

It's supposed to be a relatively short surgery (about 1.5 hours) and I'll hopefully be home before dinner.  I probably won't want to eat any dinner for a while after it's all said and done though.

Any and all prayers and happy thoughts would be appreciated!

Of course I'm having the surgery the day before Julie's birthday.  I knew that the one thing she'd want more than anything else in the world is to get to spend more time with me while I complain about how sore I am.  I'm caring like that.

Oh, and in a bout of serendipity, it appears that Mike over at Penny Arcade just had hernia surgery.  I thought that this comic was rather apropos.

Good Riddance 2016

Well, we survived 2016. At least some of us did!

Personally, this wasn't a complete train-wreck of a year but I'm happy it's over. 2017 hasn't had a chance to kick us in the face yet and if nothing else, it's shaping up to be a potentially interesting year.

Next stop: it's our 18th anniversary in a day! Woot!
