THE ACL
This morning, while on the bike training, I watched the first hour and half of Wall Street. You know, up until today, I’ve never seen that movie. So far, I like it, but maybe that has more to do with Gordon Gecko’s smirk than anything else.
I’ll watch the rest of it tonight when I go down to do some easy weights. I’m gonna have to blaze through that workout as the Habs play Game One of their series against Boston tonight. I have no illusions; I don’t think we’ll get past them, but here’s to hoping.
Personally, I’d just love to see Lucic get his face stuffed in.
My doctor and I got together, yesterday, to speak about the MRI results of my left knee. Back over the Christmas Holidays, I bent it in a way the knee is not supposed to bend, heard a pop, keeled over, and screamed like a mofo.
Turns out I’m currently healing a partial tear to the anterior cruciate ligament. With the knee as the middle of the leg, this injury occurs when the upper section of your leg twists one way, while the lower section twists the other.
It’s not pretty, and it hurts. That’s what you get for trying to turn and pivot on indoor turf.
So the prognosis is that there’s a chance of surgery. I’m to see an orthopedic specialist now. We’ll see where that will take it. The knee is healing, but I still feel stiffness and don’t have the full range of motion I have with my right.
I do want to play soccer again; and I want to play hockey too. So, I’m going to do whatever is necessary to make that happen. For now, I can ride the bike and work on isometrics. For someone who loves cycling as much as I do, that’s just fine for now.

Kingdom Of Heaven: The story of Balian’s quest for redemption and his battles against those who seek power in it’s name. This is an excellent movie whose message is perhaps more important today than it was then.
Dawkins tackles it all in his no holds barred approach to whether God exists. The stance? The probability of it? Very unlikely.
"Hopes and Fears” and “Under The Iron Sea” by Keane get constant play from my iTunes. Find out why their music is so good. After all they were the band that inspired Coldplay.
As Marcus Fenix, you fight a war against the immense Locust Horde, which not only out powers but outnumbers you, your squad, and the entire force of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Time to pull out the stops in a game that delivers the next-generation in tactical combat systems in Gears of War.
