1…. I think I have someone elses foot attached to my right leg. It’s alien. Really … it’s huge! It’s also blue. From the ankle down it’s about three times bigger than it’s normal size. Thank you knee injury!
2…. Speaking of my knee I still appear to have two knee caps, although the new one is bigger than the old one. Time to see the doc again and figure out what’s going on as this can’t be normal.
3…. I’m also really tired lately. Now that is weird ’cause I’m never tired. Maybe it’s because I’ve been dragging around this alien limb for almost two weeks?
4…. In other news, Chris has been busy Jamming with a band every night this week. The band is making a CD and I believe that Chris has been asked to play on it.
5…. The band is a little different. From what I can tell it’s modernized East Indian music. It has a an interesting beat – sounds like a bit of Tom Cochrane, Tragically hip and even Pink Floyd guitar chords mixed with exotic Indian instruments. Very cool.
6…. Chris got involved with this band because one of the musicians is marrying his cousin in August and he asked Chris to play with him after the ceremony. Now they’ve been jamming and it seems to be going further than just playing one gig.
7…. Speaking of the wedding- it’s actually two weddings. August 10th and August 11th.
8…. The first wedding will be a traditional East indian (Hindu) wedding held at the Hare Karishna Temple, and the second wedding the following day will be a catholic ceremony followed by a very “Irish” reception. By very Irish I mean there will be lots of alcohol involved, but the first wedding will be alcohol free.
9…. Chris actually just came home from a practice session and he tells me that after the Hindu ceremony they are going to play George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord and they will be accompanied by the Hare Karishna “House Band”. Then just before they finish My Sweet lord the Hare Karishna’s will do some of their throat chanting followed by the end chords of My sweet lord.
10…. Now doesn’t that sound cool? All those Hare Karishna in their flowing orange gowns singing My Sweet Lord and chanting. I’m going to have to get that on video, for sure. Chris is laughing. He thinks it will be very interesting but he’s picturing his very religious Aunts reaction, and then he’s picturing his ham of a brothers reaction.
11…. The weddings are on a Thursday and Friday, and that weekend we have the Taste of the Danforth here in Toronto. Mmmmm Greek food and entertainment within walking distance of my home.
12…. I’m imagining all of the photo opportunities I’m going to have in a few weeks. Four days of very interesting events that I fully plan to attend. This lump of a leg better be almost healed by then!
13…. Speaking of photos … on our trip to Ottawa last weekend I managed to take almost 200 pictures with my Nokia 6682 cell phone and my digital camera. Only two of the pics were of my Aunts 80th birthday parties, the rest were of the lovely scenery we passed while driving.

sounds like an interesting wedding event…hope the alien limb feels better and you figure out all that is going on
That sounds like some fun wedding music. Hope your leg situation gets worked out and you are able to get rid of the alien limb without amputation 🙂
My right foot is so big I can’t even put a shoe on. I have no feeling in four toes. It’s hard to walk. And I’ didn’t have knee surgery. Really puts a damper on things…. Good luck with yours. Blue’s not a good color!
My 13 are up!
Yikes, that sounds painful…
The wedding sounds interesting. you will have to let us know how it went

Two weddings? I’ve never heard of that. What a neat idea. I hope the happy couple has fun and doesn’t suffer from wedding burnout (if that is even possible).
Please have the leg checked out. I will be looking for the wedding pictures. They are bound to be wonderful! Wish you could capture a snippet of the music too!
My T13 is up! I hope you have a terrific Thursday!
man, knee injuries suck! Hope yours gets better soon.
Wow, I cannot imagine those two musics together. Should be really interesting. Hope your leg heals quickly. Prayers to you.
My TT is up…..come visit.
OUCH!!! Hope you feel better soon!
Oh dear, I hope you feel better about your leg. Sorry I havent been here much, was real busy last 2 weeks. My T13 is up after being MIA for 3 weeks.
Just posted my first Thirteen! Love this Meme 🙂
My cousin married a japanese guy and they had a very traditional japanese wedding in Japan and then a second wedding here in the states. It was very cool. I didn’t go to the japanese wedding, but the pictures looked great. The clothing was awesome. Not that japanese and indian are the same thing, but I liked the two weddings with different themes idea. Sounds fun.
Good luck with that leg. I hope it gets better soon.
The alien limb situation sounds pretty horrible – hope you feel much better very soon. Definitely in time for all the wedding festivities! 🙂
Have a great day, my T13 is up too….
Thanks for the comments.
I just looked at that wedding invitation again and the hare Karishna wedding is at TEN in the morning … who gets married at 10 a.m. anyway? Oh well, it should still be fun.
The knee is getting better … had an ultrasound and there is definitely fluid in there but it slowly going down and I can walk better these days. Still painful though, especially when I try to lie on my right side. Pillows are my best friend these days.
