Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Saturday morning, Gene and I drove down to Colorado Springs to visit my parents. My mom got double knee replacement surgery a couple of weeks ago so I wanted to visit her while she was in rehab (she gets out Wednesday!). She is doing great, she can walk around now and get in and out…
