I know, you're thinking that I am a nutjob for considering buying a gas guzzler when the price of gas is so high. You would be right. I just want to get it to play around with and for when the weather is really terrible in the winter. You know, that one day in Kansas City when the weather is really yucky. Okay, I am being silly about the whole thing, but I have always wanted one. I can always sell it again pretty quick if I decide the I don't want it any more.
Other news - I got the shot. I got a shot of cortisone near the angry tendons in my knee and it works like magic. I ran comfortably on Sunday. I got to run with my wife and my sister, how cool is that!!! I also ran a few miles again on Tuesday. I am much slower than I was in February, but that is A-OK with me. As long as I can still run, I will be a happy guy. Thank you, cortisone and yoga. Yep, I said it. I have been doing yoga for a few weeks now and it works wonders. I feel like a total dork, but I can't argue with success. The yoga enabled me to narrow the inflammation down to two small spots, and the cortisone got rid of one bad spot, so I seem to be on the mend. I only have one sore spot to deal with and that one seems to be getting better all the time. Icing it make the pain go away entirely, but it returns about an hour later, so I have to keep icing it to keep it completely happy.
I got to spend father's day with my parents, Karen's parents, my sister Jay and her husband John (who is a new father!), my adorable new niece Maggie, my brother-in-law Chris, my wife, and my son. It was an excellent Father's day, I must say. It was great to see at least some of the family, and I wish everyone could have joined us to make it even better. We spent the day around the Kugler house in Valpo, and I made a really tasty brisket on our homemade smoker. (our smoker was inspired by Alton Brown - the genius from the TV show "Good Eats") I seem to have figured out the way to reliably make good brisket using my contraption. Last time was only a moderate success. I found out that needed a layer of insulation to keep the direct heat off of the meat so that I did not get a layer of dried out shoe leather on the bottom of the brisket. I had to throw out a bunch of meat last time, but it was all useable this time thanks to a single small aluminum pan. I think I need to try making pulled pork next time.
UPDATE: I just talked to the owner of the Jeep and he has agreed on my price, so I will be buying an old Jeep tomorrow.

Congrats on the Jeep!!
Sounds like you had a good time in Indiana. I was supposed to go there this week for work, but the trip was canceled.
The next time you go to Indiana, let me know. We might be able to get together or something.
The Jeep is a lot of fun so far. I have to say that it is the most fun car I have ever owned. It even has big tires that hum when I go down the road.
I need to see a picture of said Jeep. George is getting jealous. (Get it? Seinfeld? Vandaley? George talks in third person when he gets upset after the episode called "The Jimmy". Good episode by the way. Mel Torme (sp?) is in that one and thinks Kramer is mentally handicapped after going to the dentist, Elaine goes out with a guy who talks about himself in third person and George tries to see shoes that make you jump higher.)
I meant to say "sell" shoes not "see" shoes.
Yes! Finally someone writes about business keychains.
