From this boingboing article:

Pretty Boy Dutch

OK, I took this one of Dutch while he was sitting on my shoulder with the front-facing iPhone camera. So it is pretty low-res. But even a slightly pixellated Dutch is cute!

Rahab!

Had my first physical therapy session at N.E. Rahab in Humble. My therapist, Mary Jo, had me warm up for 10 minutes on an elliptical. The rest of the session was basically just supervised stretching and exercise. At the end of the session she showed me how to tape my left knee to help keep the kneecap in alignment while exercising. I’m not sure how much actual value there is to be had from these sessions. I think I would get as much value from just being given instructions and then turned loose at the gym.

Lunch

Got in a quick cardio workout at the LA Fitness by work. Did a bit of rowing followed by elliptical.

Asia Market

I stopped by Asia Market on the way home from work tonight and picked up some Thai food for dinner. This is a really cool little place. They have a small menu but the food is consistently good. The market stocks an assortment of hard-to-find Thai food supplies and miscellaneous other stuff. It is located at 1010 W Cavalcade. Here is a Google map of the location.

This is what it looks like from the street:
