minutes ago

It was almost a year ago that I had my unfortunate incident with an unadorned manhole


My left hip and right knee regularly remind me that they did not appreciate the whole episode and do not wish it repeated.  They have only grudgingly allowed me to resume some of my bike riding.
I have gone back to occasionally walking the long block across the street rather then just the short walk around the drive.  


After the recent snow, I mentioned a stroll through the woods with the dogs.


Mother turned to me abruptly
and
spat out a sharp
NO!
Hmmm, guess not.
