I hope your dad has a swift and relatively painless recovery, Vortex.

This kind of things seems to be going around. Bicyclops, who doesn't get here very often these days, is in surgery today to repair his knee. There was an unfortunate combination of new rider, Vespa and mailbox that led to his leg being broken in five places.

I am particularly susceptible to the klutz virus. I'm thinking of getting out the bubble wrap.

In other news, Cheez-its are apparently dog crack.

True fact. As are hotdogs, but everyone knew that.

broken in five places

Oh my. Cautionary tale. Please pass along speedy recovery wishes.

I was able to answer, with absolute certainty, who Nixon's Secretary of State was in my history class last night.

AHAHAHAHAHA!

Hey, does that count as me getting a toaster?

It's in the mail.

Ginger, give Bicyclops my best! Five places, sheesh. Time to line the roads with bubble-wrap.

Just got a text from my Mom. Yes, she's discovered texting, she's very proud of herself. Dad's out of surgery and it went well. I will head over there as soon as he's settled back in his room.

Yeouch. Give him our best, Ginger!

Glad your Dad seems to be doing well, Vortex. That's exactly the kind of injury on top of injury thing my own father is good at.

Much ~ma Vortex-- glad that he's out and things have gone well. Now the real fun begins with recovery.

~ma to your dad, Vortex.

Vortex, best wishes for your father and his knees!

The thought of Vortex and Sparky in the same place ... well, I bet the students would be less stupid (hope springs eternal).

Connie, glad you got something so important to you! when my father died my mother tossed out pretty much everything that wasn't salable ... including his WWII flight jacket (which I'm STILL pissed about - it fitted me nicely).
