Back Trouble

This is weird. I could've sworn I wrote up a post yesterday and it's vanished. I'm sorry.

I'm in Chicago, and am down with a heating pad. Something happened while I was in Indiana. I didn't lift anything heavy, but might've lunged for a post card that was flying away in the wind. Whatever happened, I got a sharp pain in my back on the lower left side. It made the drive to Madison, pretty uncomfortable if not painful. It was at it's worst at the event, and so I didn't drive all the way back to Chicago in the middle of the night. Instead I stayed at a hotel in Janesville and tried to let it relax. Then I drove to Chicago where I'm staying with Dan Buczaczer (my best friend from high school), and his wife Jen. They have one of the best guest beds I've ever slept in. Neck and neck with Andrea and Dale's in Portland.

They had a heating pad for me, and that's about what I did yesterday.

This morning it still hurts, but I have to do a bunch of work today and go to the Savvy Traveller in the afternoon. I'll be here tonight, then I go to another friend's tomorrow night on the way to Milwaukee. Then Milwaukke for Tuesday night. Then I drive to Memphis on Wed and here's hoping that my back is better because that will be a very long drive. If I'm not cured by then, surely the fried bologna and seeing my dear friends will do the trick.
