Cocktails with cousins...

On Thursday, Sept 14th I joined my cousins Ellen and Henry for a Bay Area Maritime cocktail party which was hosted aboard the USS Potomac in Oakland. The USS Potomac served as Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidential yacht from 1936 until his death in 1945.

My injury has brought me closer to a lot of old friends and has added some new ones into my life such as Henry and Ellen.

Pimp with a Limp!

Labor Day Weekend I went to a backyard grill out party in Potrero Hill (a neighborhood in SF) with my good friend Craig Bluestien. Craig mentioned before the party that Warren Sapp would probably stop by the party. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Sapp

Warren is big guy and larger than life. At the party I was kicked back in a chair enjoying the heat from a heat lamp, when Warren passed me. He spotted my camo cane and said to me, "Are you a pimp with a limp?!?!"

The cane is a bit on the funky side; however, I didn't want to look too geriatric so I bought the cool camo cane. The walking is getting better and better and hopefully, soon, I'll be ditching the cane.
