I'm in a great mood tonight, the Golden Gopher hockey team just won the Big Ten regular season championship! This is the trophy they will get - 

 

 

Hopefully a trip to the Frozen Four is in the future.

 

Remember this trophy? Well my favorite team the Gophers just won it again. Fourth straight conference championship in a row!

Here's a little update on my physical therapy/injury-

 

It's going well!  I go to physical therapy twice a week and they are getting my mobility back. I do a little bit of work on the leg press, do some stare climbing and still have the electric stimulation.

 

So I can move again. I still require a cane for distances, but I can walk short distances now pretty well. My knee can bend pretty well, too. So I'm getting back to 100% (Still can't run yet, though ).

 

Also, I have to cut some weight off so it's healthy food and whey protein right now for this guy.

So my knee cap popped out of place this morning... OWWWWW!!!! 

 

Fortunately, it went right back into place right away, my physical therapist said that I probably twisted it wrong and the muscles near my knee cap are still tight so they tend to pull easier. At physical therapy today I had some tape put on it and did some electric stimulation for my muscles which helped, but it's still sore. Hopefully it's better in the morning.

 

On another note, I saw Furious 7 tonight. I'm going to write my review tomorrow, but I'll say this up front, see the movie and see it on the big screen, it's great!

What's up peeps, good news! I am officially done with physical therapy! I will have to do some exercises at home, but for the most part I'm pretty much healed up!

Tonight I'm watching news coverage of the situation in Baltimore, and it's difficult. It's depressing. It's sad to see one of America's great cities in so much turmoil.

 

I'm hoping that the situation can improve. From the way things have erupted, it's evident that there has been a lot of anger that has been boiling for a while now, and it has finally burst. It seems very much like Ferguson. The sad thing is, when anger boils over, along with those seeking to voice their opinion and send a message, others decide to take advantage of the situation and riot, loot and burn things. 

 

I've always been an optimist. Even when the situation is dire. That's why tonight, and into the future, I'm hoping. I'm hoping so much that the city can calm itself. That people out in the streets will drop the rocks, and the bricks and the flames and pick up ballots and petitions and a microphone at their local city meetings. 

 

I'm hoping that the police, that the city itself, will understand the frustration and show their understanding of that frustration. That they will protect the city but at the same time know that there is a severe level of anger and mistrust. My hope is that they will make a change, reach out to the community and dedicate themselves to improving their relationships. 

 

Back in the Ferguson thread, the topic had came up, about anger in the community, about the relationships with law enforcement, and how strained it is in some cities. I understand the difficulty that exists. Making changes to our society is not easy, what the nation is going through right now isn't easy, however, being the optimist that I am, I believe that things can get better. I believe that things can change for a brighter future.

 

It's going to take more than one person. It's not going to happen through violence, fires and people being hurt. It's going to happen when the people come together, city officials, law enforcement and the public from every background come together and truly listen and understand each other. 

 

Is it going to happen? I don't have a crystal ball. I don't. As the fire bellows from Baltimore, it doesn't look like it will happen over night. But I remain hopeful that over time, peace will be brought back and with that a new opportunity to make a better city, state and country. As it says in the United States constitution, "a more perfect union."

WOW. Had a close moment there. Fighting the Ice Dungeon boss, I ran out of magic, and was just using my sword and had my restore all blue potion ready. Hearts are going down. It gets down to one heart. Just barely used blue potion to restore my health.
