For over 40 years, the Olive Garden has been a contrivance invented by General Foods that pretended to be some authentic Italian restaurant brand. The Disney folks couldn’t have done a better job of manufacturing something so artificial. I’ve never set foot in one. Have you?

I have now iced my foot six times today for 30 minutes. Working on the 7th now. The toes seem only about half of black and blue as they were yesterday, so I assume that’s progress. It better be, because I don’t think I can take another week of having only one usable foot. It’s gotten really old.
