Back Inaction

Thanks to some heavy lifting on Monday, combined with a six-hour drive with the seat too far up thanks to the stuff that needed to be heavily lifted, I've been dealing with major pain in my back the last two days. Considering what a lot of people have to deal with in the pain arena, this is pretty minor stuff, but screw it, it sucks. Fortunately, there's a bit of improvement today.

While in Louisville over Christmas, we went to the new Muhammad Ali Center. The place, while containing plenty of amazing stuff about Ali, is otherwise a mess. It's not even finished -- seriously, it's maybe 60 percent built -- but they've opened it to the public anyway. I'm hoping it's not because Ali's in declining health. I was disappointed the history-making photo here isn't included in the memorabilia.
