Farewell, WHFS. We Knew Thee Well. "99.1 becomes El Zol Popular modern rock station WHFS has switched to a Latin format" I saw the comment that Snay made here, and I decided to check this out myself.  Admittedly, I was amazed by this. I checked out WHFS.com, and I was immediately redirected to El Zol 99.1.  There is no content there, yet.  WHFS had grown immensely from its once humble roots.  It was once the cool station to listen to, but it deserted that perch many years ago in my book.  The final nail in the coffin--aside from the repeated airing of music by crappy bands--was the addition of the Sports Junkies.  That said, the station had a presence with its 'HFStivals, which became quite notable.  6:38:52 PM    comment []  trackback []

"Guess What? I got a fever!" "And the only prescription...is more cowbell!" In honor of a friend who kept doing this on Monday night, I have included a video clip for all to enjoy.  Also, since I have no broken extremities, I gotta have more cowbell.  I know it is old, but it just continues to be funny.  "Never question Bruce Dickinson!" 4:05:46 PM    comment []  trackback []

Walk It Off I just returned from a visit to my PT friend.  She said that I have a sprain--no fracture.  If I had a fracture, walking would be extremely painful.  She noted that I had a heel-to-toe motion, and that is pretty indicative of there not being a problem.  She suggested that I keep the foot/ankle elevated, no cardio/calf-work for two weeks, and wrap the ankle with an ACE bandage and aircast.  She provided me with an aircast, and admittedly, it feels better to walk around with that on.  Looks like I will be back, and maybe doing some more self-medicating. I am cancelling my orthopedist appointment for tomorrow, and I may see if I can work from home.  I would like to have a day where I do not have my foot underneath my desk all day long.  Time to talk to my boss about that.  3:41:43 PM    comment []  trackback []

Ouch! I am bolting work early to see a friend who happens to be a physical therapist.  There, I will get a professional assessment on my ankle.  I have an appointment with an orthopedist tomorrow.  I am hoping I did not break it, but everything seems to point to some type of break.  This would be the first time I have ever broken a lower extremity.  If I broke it, everyone gets to have a good laugh at my expense as I hobble around.  I am doing that now, and it is pretty entertaining.  Stupid football! 10:03:17 AM    comment []  trackback []
