shah269 0 #1 July 13, 2010 366 days ago I had an argument with mother earth regarding right of way. I ended up with a titanium rod in my right shin bone which will be with me for life. And it has been a year marked by pain and some recovery. I'm not sure about the next 364 days but I hope they are better than teh past 366. For those of you who offered me best wishes after I got hurt, thank you. I can't tell you how greatful I am. And yeah I'm back in the air but everything on the ground is a mess.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
