4:20

Well 4:20 has come and gone. For those of you who have no sense of 4:20, it is a both a date and time. 4/20 is:

* Hitler's Birthday

* Columbine Anniversary

* National Hippie Holiday

I also hear that all the clocks in the movie PULP FICTION are set to 4:20 but I have not confirmed this.

My best 4:20 memory is that Al Ward and me were at the High Sierra Music Festival listening to Leftover Salmon playing late night (they played until the sun came up) and at 4:20 a.m. they stopped playing so everyone could light up. It will be hard to forget that night.

Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, I have not celebrated 4/20 4:20 in a few years. Currently I am dealing with back problems that have curtailed my fun (golf, dog walking, air guitar, mayhem, etc). Fortunately I have found Spitzer Physical Therapy in Clovis and they are working me out. Dennis Spitzer's plan for back pain is not sissy modalities (heat, ultrasound, TENS, phonophoresis, massage, manipulation) but hard work to correct the posture and the supporting muscles of the abdomen, butt and legs. So a session is work.

But it is helping and I have a plan to get going. Hopefully, I will be in shape for the upcoming cruise.

Nothing else - waiting for next weekend when we trip to Yosemite for the weekend with Peter and Nichole.

Pix to follow after Yosemite.
