Update on Knee and Noise

The knee is very slowly improving and I'm becoming more confident it will heal completely, thank heavens.

I apologized to a few neighbors about the noise on my patio into the wee hours of the New Year morning and all said they'd thought the noise was coming from another neighbor who is notorious for late night parties. I should have kept my mouth shut and let that neighbor take the blame. The up side is that my neighbors laughingly forgave me and still think I'm a nice person.
