New Avatar, Same Ole Me

The Mercurius mosaic had run it's course. Though I still really like my first avatar I used here; the Ulysses (Odysseus) cameo, I needed a change.

 

That being said, I think I've found a keeper with my new one. Given the motif (which I hope all will recognize...) coupled with the meaning of my forum name I find its ironic humor quite appropriate.

 

On a different note, I'm reading Lionel Casson's book Travel in the Ancient World currently and it is superb. I will submit a lengthy review to the site but I will say here that I think it should be in everyone's library who is interested in ancient history. It was first written in 1974 and is still perhaps the most diffinitive work on the subject.

 

It's almost 2 book in one as he covers the ancient explorers quite thoroughly as well as general travel in the Bronze Age up to Late Roman period.

 

On an even more different note, I pulled my thigh muscle really bad last week after it had just healed from 2 weeks ago. I've never had a pulled/torn muscle hurt that bad. I've been loopy on muscle relaxers since Friday and it still hurts; it is getting better though. :wacko:

OUCH!...I've been really lucky (not lucky, blessed) in that reguard that I've never actually had a muscle injury that caused *anything* but a few days stiffness (I pulled a...what is it...hamstring? a few days ago throwing a softball. Still stiff, but not particularly painful). I did have what I suspect was a stress fracture a while ago though, I didn't go to the doctor though. It took over a month to heal, it's fine now. I usually heal extremely fast (it's uncanny). Glad you're doing better though. :)

Noticed the new icon and rather enjoy it. I've been shopping around for a new one myself but can't settle on anything.

 

May your thigh heal swiftly.

Thanks Ursus, I see you made a change now as well!

 

The thigh is still tender and I can't completely sit Indian-style but I can now walk at my normal gate. Thanks for the well wishes folks!
