Today was intended as a quiet, relaxing day. The first irritant was the too-early call from a telemarketer. A polite voice with an Indian accent who said he was calling from the orthopedic center. Had I let him continue I know he would have asked about the pain in my knees. My knees have no pain. In fact, they are one of the few areas of my body that do not. They assume that most people have arthritic knees and thus begins their sales pitch. I hung up. But it frosts me that people do this.
