So here is the latest from me: I have grown a recovery beard- kind of like a playoff beard in hockey. I actually haven’t shaved since my injury in Wengen. It is kind of fun and friends seem to tolerate it- so far. I think there are several beard growing phases, categorized by the look. First you just look busy, the 5 o’clock shadow. After a few days- lazy. After that you have the “don’t need to shave for my job/ unemployed” look. After unemployed for a few weeks, I believe you hit “homeless”. I think I am just about there.

Next week I get to start more activity- which I am really looking forward to. I have lost about 18lbs from my high in Wengen. I could start a diet trend “Southbeach ACL” maybe. “lose 15lbs without exercise- pounds will melt away before your eyes! I lost more than that in 3 weeks and lost inches off my legs and hips- with no exercise!!!”. I’ll get the guy who is always yelling about some cleaning product to pitch it for me. In small type shown very quickly near the end I will note that your results may vary. And that weight lost was all muscle mass. That will be in even smaller type shown even quicker.

I see it as the new diet trend*!

All that aside I have been enjoying Universal Sports on TV at home. I am lucky- in the Seattle area it is free on over-the-air broadcasting. Channel 5.2.

It’s been great to watch my teammates in action, same day. World Cups, World champs… feel like I am in Europe!

Take care- thanks for reading.
