Back west means spending QT with my mom. I sustained a bit of a knee injury a couple of weeks ago while moving stuff around for the project I was working on in New York. I must have been pumped full of adrenaline because I was able to ignore the discomfort for the most part. Yesterday, my knee started feeling stiff again. I tried to go see Dr. Besh, who fixed my wrist a few years ago when I had my big bad SUV-bike spill, but he couldn’t see me because I HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE. So instead, I went to see my mom, who stuck some needles into some pressure points in my arms and legs. I was positively squirmish.

Mama Su has just been invited again in 2008 to give acupuncture workshops in a small German mountain town on the Austrian border. I’m going to go with her and make a documentary about her healing powers. More on this later! 2008, bring it on!
