Ouch!

It was nice and warm here on Tuesday so I went to the park. There's this creek I like to cross by stepping across the stones, but the water was high and some of them were underwater. I thought, "I can leap that."

Happily the X-ray shows that my foot isn't broken. Unhappily I'm limping along because my foot hurts like all get out, I've wrenched my shoulder, the lump on my forehead somehow is giving me a black eye, and my new eyeglasses are scratched up. That last bit is actually pretty good since it likely means my glasses saved my eye. Oh, and according to my doctor the lump on my forehead means my brain smashed into the front of my skull, bounced off and smashed into the back of my skull, breaking blood vessels. Ick, although since I haven't had a headache apparently it didn't do too much damage.

I'm starting to think I need to learn to act my age...

Happily I haven't done something like this (or at least haven't had this bad a tumble) for a couple of decades. Hopefully it'll be at least that long before I do it again!

And you take care of yourself too!

Oh, it's too late for me -- I attempt the jump all the time. Guess that explains my chronic back pain, huh?

“Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.” ― Agnes De Mille

And my chronic neck pain!

Cute icon. I just heard "My Funny Valentine" on the radio. The DJ played three version. I heard Sarah Vaughan, but he also played Frank Sinatra and someone else doing it before that.

The icon's from the cover of the book my Valentine's column appears in -- it got up to #15 in print books and #16 in e-books on the Amazon.com, in the humor category!
