Late mornin' all. Need more caffeine. Went to bed late because we were forced to eat late because Wild Wing closed early because of the lack of UFC on TV so we had coffee then went to Boston Pizza nearby which had a waiting list that we waited almost 45 minutes to matriculate to the top of because the place was packed with a ton of people who were watching the UFC that Wild Wing presumably closed due to the lack of, and then we were seated and UFC fans were cheering in our ears so we moved to another table and they stopped cheering and we ate and it was good but late.

Definitely need more caffeine.

Good morning. It is a good day to turn. Well, up in this part of the world it is anyway -- sorry to hear about your gardens, Whis. Nature has been on a bender lately. At least you came out of it unscathed. Well, acts of imbalance notwithstanding, that is. I tripped and fell a few weeks ago myself. Actually, it was more like trip, try and race forward to catch my balance, pitch too far forward, try and race forward further to catch up to my rapidly gaining step, meet pavement. Chucked two coffees and scraped the crap out of my phone's case, my eGo and EMDCC, and my arm. Hurt my wrist, too, which still hurts if I far enough.

My days of indestructibility are well behind me.

Yup. Didn't hit my shoulder -- I pretty much went down flat as a board, but used my left hand to try and break my fall (only the heel of my palm got scraped up) while the underside of my right forearm -- the arm carrying the coffees -- caught the brunt of the road rash. I'm sure on a certain level it must have looked like a hilarious 70s sitcom pratfall, but at the same time there must have been something that looked rather painful about it because the two young girls I was passing at the time, rather than giggle as I expected them to, instead expressed concern and asked if I was alright.

Or maybe they reserved their giggling until they were out of earshot. Or maybe I'm just a cynical misanthrope.

Nah. They definitely giggled. Schadenfreude always wins. :)
