Still having pain in my knee from who-knows-what happened yesterday. Kept the knee brace on, iced it off and on, took some pain meds, and went to see a Civil War re-enactment. Bit of a mixed bag going to those here in the south because despite their best enthusiasm and efforts, you know they're still going to lose. Best quote of the day, overheard from a woman who was staying in the Union camp. A visitor was walking through her camp and jokingly said, "y'all better be careful- those rebels are getting awfully close!" The woman replied, "Actually ma'am, I myself am a rebel. I am being held here as a prisoner of war for the weekend." Best part of the battle was at the end, when the field was littered with bodies from both sides and the fighting had stopped, all the casualties stood up and walked back to their respective groups to re-join the ranks. I wish all battles could end that way. In the afternoon, I went out for a bike ride with MR. I was worried my knee wouldn't cooperate, but the bike ride didn't cause any pain- and it was wonderful to get out and move my legs and feel the breeze on my face. We went just over 10 miles- it was wonderful!! Then we made eggrolls and hushpuppies to celebrate :-)
