Knee Repair Today!

Status

dpkworldwide's avatar

Today is the big day: arthroscopic surgery to deal with the torn meniscus in my right knee.

I’m just about ready to walk over to the surgery center now since I’m supposed to arrive by 7:30 though the procedure isn’t scheduled until 9:00. And yes, I did say “walk over”—the surgery center is literally two blocks from my home and I loved the irony of walking over to get my knee surgery! My folks will be there later to pick me up.

I will keep everyone posted on developments, but don’t expect any difficulties…

Work slowly begins on my blog/web transition.

First, this personal blog, as of December 15th, has its own domain: dougkendrick.me

At some point over the holidays, I will move everything from my dpkworldwide blog over here and then change that one into my business blog. It is also quite likely that I will finally make the leap from my past hosted website over to a WordPress-only platform (but I have to figure out how to keep all my legacy stuff intact, especially my 2006 & 2008 Japan blogs).

Stay tuned!

The Class Warfare We Need: Conover

I found this essay by Steve Conover via Charlie’s Blog today, and it is absolutely brilliant! Finally somebody actually speaks the truth about the ludicrous and damaging class warfare being pushed by the Democrats, media and OWS morons. The proper target is all wrong:

The point is this: If we’re going to have a war, let’s do it right. The battle lines should be drawn orthogonally to the oversimplified “rich versus the rest.” A virtuous war would be one that rewards society’s honest earners and productive contributors, while punishing society’s predators, pirates, and parasites—all without regard to anyone’s income level. It is a target-rich environment that includes anyone (of any income level) who is cheating to win, any business or union (of any size) with its snout in the public trough, any politician filling that trough and feeding those snouts for reciprocal gain, and any group using the political system (at any level) to maintain its monopoly, or its winning “edge” against less-well-connected competitors.

Amen, brother.
