I’m gradually adding more movement to my routine. I’m taking the stairs at work when I can, and on Thursday, I walked from the metro station to a conference I had to go to and back (at least three block both ways). The recent change in weather has my knee a little sore, but my ankle is doing much better, so I feel more confident to push my exercise envelope a little. At last, I feel that I’m finally moving forward in my recovery of my body, especially since the accident in April 2005.

Last night, I did a small cheat and had a fortune cookie. The fortune said I would be fortunate in everything I do. I guess it was right.

Last night I caught up on some old The Simpsons episodes recorded by our Tivo. One of them was “Rosebud” where Mr. Burns longs for his childhood teddy bear, Bobo. It made me think of something that happened during our recent move out to Phoenix, Az. The day the movers drove our stuff from California…

What Is that Under My Tire?
ByCarma Spence August 1, 2004January 26, 2022

I had a unique experience the other day. Approaching my car, leaving from work, I saw what I thought was an ornate rock or giant seed of some sort under the rear passenger tire of my Explorer. I thought that it would probably be a bad idea to just backup over it, so I went…

Fun Grumbling About the Weather
ByCarma Spence December 11, 2005January 25, 2022

This week we had a snowstorm and I got to drive to work in it. It was fun, really. I love driving 40mph on the freeway. Well, in light of all this winter frivolity, I thought I’d share with you two things: a song about the weather and a picture from Sprocket’s run in the…

ByCarma Spence March 20, 2020February 29, 2020

Last year, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute announced that they had developed a way to 3D print living skin, complete with blood vessels. How might this affect modern medicine … or your next science fiction or horror story?
