You might have noticed I've not had a byline on the site the past three days.

Friday evening while hitting golf balls, while in my back swing, I felt a pop in my left knee and fell to the ground in pain. Billie took me to the emergency room. It looks like a slight tear to the meniscus and fluid on the knee. Since then, it's been really tough to walk. I'm stuck at home and can't get up stairs.

Billie just moved my computer downstairs so I can start doing some work again.

Hopefully, I'll be back to normal in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, it's going to be hard for me to get out and cover things. We've got a cast of freelancers to help with coverage, but my work will be confined to what I can do without leaving the house.

We like to keep people informed of things going on that affect the normal flow of coverage, so that's the story in this case.

Howard, Take care of yourself and rest that knee! Billie will pamper you (within reason) and we'll just have to get by without your wonderful photography for a couple weeks.

Thanks for all the well wishes. Got a steroid shot in the knee today. Unclear what the actual damage is. Showing early signs of arthritis   ... back to Doc in two weeks. I'm getting better every day. Hopefully can get out and about better soon.
