Thanks Hank. I almost die getting schmaltzed by the train and you are questioning my athletic prowess or lack thereof?

He is a phys ed teacher at an exclusive boy's school he kicked my ass.

I am not athletic in the least. I can run for appox an hour but I plod.

Heh.

But speaking of bloody knees, I had a wee biking accident a couple weeks ago (it was Columbus Day), and got a big old bloody knee and scraped up my hands. I had forgotten how gross scabs and bloody cuts are. When disrobing in haste the other day, I accidentally ripped the scab off in one big piece. Totally disgusting. Even more disgusting - I'm not really sure where it flew off to - so it will probably show up at some point and the sight of it will make me vomit. So I have that to look forward to.

I admire your ability to see the silver lining on a morning when you lost your iPod and scraped up your knee, particularly when that silver lining is that you cleaned and bandaged the wounded knee.

There really is no upside, but I am trying to stay positive.

I am sure I am whiffing by replying to this.

I tell this story every holiday season!

When my daughter was an infant, there was only 1 hotel near my in-laws, The George Washington Motor Lodge, just off the turnpike at Willow Grove. It was a serious pit.

Anyway, K. is crawling around and my mom sees she found a great big nasty big toe clipping- "Hank, you need to pick up your toe nail clippings- your daughter almost ate one!"

"Ummm, I didn't cut my toenails."

ewwwwww.

someday I'll tell about when the western horse riders convention was there and they decide to skinny dip*, with the bathroom for the bar requiring one to walk alongside the pool.

*they didn't look like the east coast riders who post here.

You are wrong to question it. That depiction characterizes every single Canadian chick who has ever lived. Especially the part about trendy wristbands.

Wow. That's quite unsanitary.

If you find it, can I add it to my collection?

I know that but it is neither judgemental, sancitmonoious, false pious or huffy.

So he can deal.

I don't get why the Detroit police don't sit right at the tunnel and bridge exits and pull over everyone after 1AM Friday and Saturday. They show remarkable restraint- getting DUIs would be like fishing for spawning salmon.

So I drive to another station, a hub that more trains run out of, and make that train to be 1/2 hr late or so. I rummage for my IPod...it must have fallen out.

So I'm down an Ipod and up a bloody knee. The only bright side is that I cleaned the bejeezus out of the knee and bandaged it up with ointment and a non stick pad and band-aids. I backed up enough so the train didn't hit me but that scared the crap out of me.

Can you post more like this?
