Things could be much worse! Looking BACK at this BACK injury, and the ensuing 4-month hiatus forced me to...

Now, I love Korea, I love America, and I love Christmas!  Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas to all y’all, and especially to all the bitter resentful people out there who hate it for one reason or another.
