The toughest man I know

I spent the day recording our radio show and teaching classes for potential customers at Comp USA. Its always fun to do this but it makes for a long day.

Since I didn't really do any techy work I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about medical technology and the toughest man I know. I know a man who spent his earlier career as a teacher in a junior high school and eventually the principal. He did this until he was 50 and then decided to change careers and join the Peace Corp to be a teacher trainer in third world countries. He dug latrines in West Africa, rode motorcycles while dodging bombs in the Philippines, dealt with all kinds of discrimination in Pakistan, was threatened by thugs in the Czech Republic, and had to escape in the middle of the night in the Arab Emirates from corrupt government murderers.
After all these harrowing deeds he managed to make a ton of life long friends and help out thousands of teachers and children throughout the world. He met with presidents, addressed the United Nations, and helped organize meetings between factions. After all that his seventy six year old body was tired and giving up. Well, medical science to the rescue!
His Knees were all out of cartilage so he had them injected with painful shots of space age knee goo. His back could no longer stand up straight so they put in high tech titanium rods. His neck was no longer sitting correctly and the bones were pinching the nerve so he had an experimental cage built to prop up his neck. It was inserted inside after he hung upside down for several hours during the surgery. And now he is ready to travel the world again. Having just received a job offer from Libya we had to talk him out of going. Although this person lived the exciting life of what we would expect a man to do, this man was no man at all, but a very liberated woman. She also happens to be my mother. And now you know the rest of the story. You may see her whizzing past you on a camel so make some room for her. She has stuff to do.
