The Catcher In The Rye saved my life when I was younger.

I don't mean that in a jokey kind of way, I'm not being clever. The book saved me so many times from myself and my surroundings that it's hard to think of "me" without those words coming along for the ride.

Way, way too much going on at work and to top it all off I tweaked my ACL by making my fat-ass run too much so I’ve not been able to exercise. BAH! The knee is improving daily so it won’t be too much longer before I get to work out again. I’m ridiculously happy about that thought.

This weekend (once work is done with, at least) is going to be all about sitting with my feet up. There may be hockey and some Beatles Rock Band involved.

Is it time for a vacation yet?
