And trust me, Chuckleberry, I know about nicknames. When your first name is Roll, you get some doozies.

How's the other side of the internet? Does anyone visit there or is it still the mods talking amongst themselves?

Casually Deliberate
So... There's a bike I'm finding myself increasingly attracted to. I feel like someone in my position should know better and I've been neglecting the bike I already have so I have no business looking around. But this other bike is very different from mine; not even a kind I've considered. I feel bad about it so I haven't even talked to LoP about it. But, man, when I look at that thing...

Haven't ridden my bike for nearly 3 weeks. Did a 63km commute + messages yesterday, most of that with the extra drag of a sidewall dynamo. My legs were toast. I was down to the low gear to get home.

If all else fails come to the Houston Medical Center. There is a hand and wrist specialist here, Dr. Mark Henry. He is a genius. Apparently elbow tendonitis is treated by hand and wrist specialists. He researches and publishes extensively and really knows his stuff. He says absolutely no cortisone injections, they do more harm than good. There is often no real inflammation in the tendon so no anti-inflammatory is indicated. If there is no real inflammation, it is actually tendonosis, not tendonitis. He can tell right away which you have. Also he says no strap support just below the elbow. He thinks it causes nerve damage. I was about six months into a terrible bout of tennis elbow (remind me never to pick up a screwdriver) and he had me cured in about four weeks. Just physical therapy. I feel for you. It is nice to be able to squeeze a jar top to open the jar again.

I forgot to mention I worked for Ted Taylor in the research group that eventually (long after me) invented Alimta, the dazzling new cancer drug. It all started with our work around methotrexate and other pteridine folate antagonists.
