In The Name of Love

I know that this is not Saturday but it will be a video post today in celebration of the legal public holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King and the public inauguration of President Barak Obama.

It seems strange that racial segregation in the United States was legal until the Civil Rights […]

Sounds of Saturday – The Go-Go's

Keeping with my first concert, I had to share a video from The Go-Go’s. I can remember how much I loved them in the 1980’s.

Could anyone be more beautiful than Belinda Carlisle? Cooler than Kathy Valentine? Cuter than Jane Wiedlin? More fierce than Gina Schock? I also remember thinking at […]

Sounds of Saturday – INXS

In keeping with a “first” theme since it’s the first month of the year, I decided to share a video from the first band I ever saw in concert, INXS.

INXS opened for The Go-Go’s at Jones Beach  in 1984 and I was thrilled to see them.  They were amazing.  I […]

Feeling Lucky That Somebody #HATES Me

I don’t normally go out on a “school night” but when my SoCal Lady Blogger buddy, Carolyn West (thistalkaintcheap.com), said I could be her +1 for a Fox Home Entertainment Scavenger Hunt and event for the DVD/BlueRay release of “House At The End of the Street” (#HATES) on Tuesday night in Hollywood, I couldn’t resist.

When I got to the meeting place, I had no idea that I’d get the chance to see No Doubt performing at the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage to usher in JKL’s new timeslot (11:35pm).  We were down the block but it was certainly a very cool way to spend some time.

The picture to the right is not fake.  This is a real place in Temecula, CA.  Honestly, I saw the photo and I thought it was a joke.  However, I also feel like I could be their next patient.

In the past I’ve been to kinesiologists (Debbie Parsons in NYC is fantastic), PT, a well-known NYC sports medicine doctor and most recently an acupuncturist but I’m still an active participant in the injury and reinjury circuit with this back injury.

Last week I saw a new orthopedic surgeon (a runner and triathlete himself) and he said that I didn’t need surgery but recommended physical therapy.  The doctor said it’s likely I can run in the future but that this injury will recur.
