This is a bullet kind of post, I can feel it...

• A grand 'welcome to the world' goes out to my new nephew! Born Friday night at 8:31 pm, 7 lbs, 11 ounces, and apparently LOVES to sleep.
• My fantasy football team is 3-7, probably about to be 3-8, and has been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. That's the last time I forget about the draft and let Yahoo pick my players...
• The knee sometimes seems like it's getting better and sometimes seems like it's just not healing at all. In response to Annette, however, I have been lifting the upper body and core. That's something I've been good about since high school. Hopefully this week I'll go swimming...we'll see what the doc says on Tuesday.
• Not gonna run the Turkeyman Trot on Thanksgiving, obviously. If I'm cleared to run, I may just jog it with my buddy Greg because he wants to do it.
  
• Good luck to the MSU men's and women's cross-country teams tomorrow at the NCAA championships in Terra Haute, Indiana! The men are ranked #27 in the nation and the women are ranked #4 in the nation....so it's more likely the women will bring home some hardware, but we'll see.
• I really want to run again. It's been 3 weeks.
