I am back from a week at San Diego Comic Con! I would say I’ve survived, but that is TBD.  My knee still isn’t 100% so although I was able to do more than at SXSW (a month after tearing my knee), it still was far from the easy/pain free experience I was hoping for.  As with my general survival, next week is all TBD.
