My operation on my right shoulder yesterday went well, but it slows me down to type with my left hand!  Hurrah for modern medicine!  Due to a pain pump I haven't felt any pain yet!   New post on  Brian Mickelson.... An Open Letter to All of My Former High School Students Now Going to College… by  BJM Well, you've had your first day of freshman year. You've already missed multiple hours of needed sleep, thought about your parents more than you thought you would, forgot to charge you iPod, and made eye contact with a pretty attractive person in one of your classes.
