I struggled through my group strength class yesterday. I feel way better today.
Yesterday I finally finished editing the presentation I gave back in April at the Booth Western Art Museum. The actual presentation was about 25 minutes, but I edited down to about nine minutes. Feel free to go watch it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daAcxkLPvsw
Today I have another physical therapy appointment, so I am skipping the gym.
Considering it was 99 degrees on Sunday, today feels pretty darn chilly at 64. I might have to don a jacket...

Saturday we drove to Washington, D.C. for the Redskins football game. We got to eat at one of my favorite places--it's called the Houndstooth Cafe. They have some awesome BBQ and clam chowder. We stayed in Maryland Saturday night, then headed to FedEx field on Sunday morning. We tailgated, like true football fans do...it was a real scorcher.
We got into the stadium and got to see our new seats for the first time. Holy cow - we were about 20 seats from the field. When the ball is thrown in our direction it looks like it's coming right at you. You can also hear the crunching of the players equipment. Next game I will take some pictures so you can see.
The game was awesome, but it had to be 99 degrees on the field and in full sun for four hours. We each drank two bottles of water, which cost $5 a bottle. That wasn't nearly enough water to hydrate us in those conditions. Later that night and yesterday we suffered some dehydration issues. I am feeling better today, but still not 100%.
Yesterday I stumbled across a new book review for Taste of Tombstone in a Tucson paper. http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/recipes/96216.php The reviewer was very kind.
I will attempt the gym today...

Zumba! I even bought a music CD from the instructor today. It's fully of sexy Latin songs.
I talked with my friend in England today. He had some interesting information to share for my latest book. It's always good to hear from friends!
Well, today I decided to be domestic and do some laundry. Must to my surprise and dismay, the washing machine decided to leak. Let me state that our machine is on the second floor. There was so much water that it was raining on my car which is in the garage below. Yikes. I have spent the last 5 hours playing clean up and soak up.
Thank goodness it's Friday and I can rest tomorrow.
Have a great weekend!

As expected there is lots in the news about the 7th anniversary of this date. Still hard to imagine that day. It was like a scene from a movie and could not be happening, but it did.
I ended up making baked penne pasta with Parmesan cheese. I used some sauce I made and froze, then added some fresh pesto I made. It was tasty.
I took a new class at the gym today - cardio funk. Lots of fun with funky music from 70s-90s. Tomorrow is Zumba!!
I saw the physical therapist again today. He is quite a character and has one hell of a sense of humor. I love him! He is also quite skilled at what he does. He sort of did a deep tissue thing, but moved my joints and muscles around. I am still twisted (hey, we all knew that before!) from the accident, but he thinks I will make good progress.
He does have me concerned about my knee though. That was the one place that took a direct hit to the dashboard in the accident. It seems there is something liquidy, called plica in the body. A plica is a thin wall of fibrous tissue that are extensions of the capsule of the knee. When that is banged it can turn into scar tissue which might need to be surgically removed later. Yikes. With proper work I might be able to avoid surgery.
Tonight is Pub/Trivia night. A night out is just what I need after being beat today by Kurt (P.T.)...

Today's class at the gym was an awesome workout with one of my favorite instructors.
After that I had a dentist appointment to replace a filling. I was never convinced that I needed to have it done, and the dentist I saw today agreed with me. Got away without having a needle jammed into my gum!
Last night we watched the Replacements with Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman. There are so many funny scenes in that movie. It was just what I needed to get excited about this weekend's home game!!
I am making something Italian for dinner tonight...
