This post is mostly for my personal trainer, PT, and medical nerd friends. One year ago, I tore my hamstring. Badly. It was devastating, and I’ve learned a lot about life, blah blah, but more on that later. Photo 1 is context, Photo 2 is healthy Right hamstring profile, and Photo 3 is effed up sorta “healed” Left hamstring profile. It’s lumpy. There are palpable areas where you can feel that the damn thing just ain’t right. In any event, it doesn’t work properly still. When I walk, my left lower limb rotates from left, clockwise, to get into position to kick thru straight. BUT. I am so much better than I was. I thank @lynnepedersen220 for getting me through the trauma and initial stages of this situation. I am so grateful to be able to continue running and working out. Sending love to PDX.

Gazpacho. Recipe from “The New Spanish Table” by Anya von Brenzen. Used a racy French sherry vinegar and skipped the day-old bread called for in the recipe, totally unnecessary. Served with splash of olive oil and crunchy fleur de sel de guerande.

West Tisbury farmers market. Next up today: gazpacho from my market spoils.

Why is that upside-down garbage can there? Actually, it’s not a garbage can, and it has a reason for being placed there. I’m learning many lessons here. One is to slow down. Another is that everything has a purpose, which you may not see until it reveals itself under the right circumstances. Like a rain shower.
