Spring

I love waking up after the sun has come up and leaving when it is still light out.

I love how it smells, and how much energy I have. This is my favourite time of year.

Active Response Therapy

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 14:13:52 -0500

Back in January of 2008 I got active response therapy done on my right shoulder to break up all of the scar tissue that built up as a result of my shoulder injury back in 2001.

I have found that I have to go back every once and a while to get the scar tissue broken up again, but overall the experience has been hugely benficial. I used to think that I would just have to live with pain in my neck and shoulder for the rest of my life and that I would always have this lump of scar tissue in my trapezious. I’m very happy to say that I am for the most part now pain free.

I had the work done at the absolute rehab centre in Waterloo.

How did I come to need this you ask? While mountain biking I broke my collarbone and tore it clean off the shoulder (full separation). The bone that broke and detached from my shoulder spun around and a large lump where the end that used to be attached to my shoulder was visible above my shoulder blade on my back.

It’s been a few months since I’ve been to TKO, but I still definitely recommend them.

HDTivo in Canada

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:26:42 -0500

Just joined 2004 and got an HDTV. Had to give up my Tivo because it doesn’t work in Canada with HD. Very disapointed with the Rogers PVR - doesn’t hold a candle to my old standard def. tivo.
