A Woolly brother goes in for knee surgery on Monday.\u00a0 He’s a bright guy who will select a surgeon with care.\u00a0 He’s also good at taking care of himself so I’m sure the surgery and the recovery will go well.<\/p>\n

I’m still pumped about the health care reform even if it fell short of single-payer.\u00a0 That’s for later.\u00a0 Right now, let’s party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
