bad knees and motorcycles

I rode on angelbob's motorcycle to S&P tonight.

Partway through the night, my knees began to ache like they never have before. It was incredibly painful.

I'm wondering if anyone out there with a knee injury has had knee pain in conjunction with motorcycle use, or if the timing was purely coincidental.

Interesting news from the school

I'm not sure what to think about this.

The school is consolidating classes as much as possible, which means that next year I will be teaching:

9th grade physics 15 students
12th grade physics 20 students
10th grade chemistry 24 students
french (introductory) (only if enough students sign up)

This drops my yearly income down to $16,000.

This gives me more time to write. This means I NEED to write more because I cannot survive on $16,000.

Quite frankly, I can't do the writing if my antidepressants don't work.

No pressure, none at all!

More psychiatric goodness

Researchers have identified a gene in mice that has two possible variations; a mouse strain with one variant produced 50 to 70 percent less seratonin in their brains than did mice with the other variant.

A friend in El Cerrito is coming to my naming. She is coming in a van that is taking a bunch of SF folk.

Is there anyone who can either:
(1) pick her up and drop her stuff off at my place or the Choir Loft before 1 p.m.ish tomorrow

OR

(2) Offer her car a safe parking spot on this side of the bridge (ie. where it won't get a ticket or get towed)?

(no subject)
