shadowkatTook the day off for what amounts to a 15-20 minute knee doctor's appointment at 2:40pm, the commute to it will take longer - well that and the wait time. Although, according to the PT - my knee doctor is world-renowned or nationally renowned, and people come from all over to see him. (Probably explains why he sees 30 patients a day.) No, the knee isn't really getting that much better. It's less painful. But still problematic.
And PT asked if I was okay with doing the knee exercises for the rest of my life, every day?
Look, I just want to be able to occasionally walk a three-five miles without pain, and go up and down eight flights of steps. It's not like I want to run a marathon or play tennis or anything. Just do floor exercises, hike, kneel, and dash to the train.

You have to listen to the live version to get it. Also once you hear the final choral lyrics - it's hard to get them out of your head? Talk about earworms - although this is one - in a good way?
It's a female primal scream at our toxic society. I can relate.

4. Are there opportunities to go walking where you live? Do you take advantage of that?
Yes. I walk everywhere. I don't own a car, nor take any. I walk and take the subway. There's two large parks nearby, with lots of green space.
5. Pineapple on a pizza – yes, or no?
Ewww. No.
6. Is there a fashion or style from your youth that you wish would come back, or are you happy with how people dress these days?
I don't care that much about fashion, and don't really pay attention to the trends. When it comes to clothing - I just want to be comfortable and presentable. Fashion makes no sense to me - why unnecessarily hurt yourself to look pretty?
7. It’s National Robotics Week – if you could have a personal robot, what would you like it to do for you?
Laundry. (I already have two robot vacuums - that handle vacuuming.) Also dusting would be nice.
8. Have you ever played card games? If so, what’s your favourite game?
Yes. I don't remember them after I play them well enough to answer? I don't even remember the names of them.
9. It’s National Garlic Month – are you a fan? If so, what’s your favourite recipe using garlic?
Yes. I don't remember or really follow recipes? I just add garlic to stuff - when it suits me? I'm an intuitive cook.
10. Do you often see wild birds in your backyard/garden/nearby open spaces? What are the most common ones you see in your area?
pigeons. doves. cardinals. and sparrows. Also a handful of robins.

5. Pineapple on a pizza – yes, or no?
I understand putting pineapple with ham, but putting both together on pizza is not my idea of a good pizza.
6. Is there a fashion or style from your youth that you wish would come back, or are you happy with how people dress these days?
There are certainly some I don't want to come back, like bell-bottom trousers for men. They were the fashion when I was a little kid and again when I was in my twenties. Empire-style dresses in my teens made a lot of girl's look pregnant when they weren't.
9. It’s National Garlic Month – are you a fan? If so, what’s your favorite recipe using garlic?
Not actually a fan, but I do put it on hamburgers and in chili I make.
10. Do you often see wild birds in your backyard/garden/nearby open spaces? What are the most common ones you see in your area?
Yes, in my own yard I see sparrows, hummingbirds, cactus wrens, ravens, and right now Gamble quail are nesting in my front bushes.
