vicarzI limp faster than most people walk, sad but true. Doc says aint nuffin broke, just hobble and take it easy for 7-10 days, take them legal drugs.
Last night was just beautiful. It was another unexpected gift, a burst mid-week, warmth where we expected cold, the moon emerging in all it's...moonitude. I've written off several gorgeous days and evenings as the season's last, only to find another around the corner. There is a lesson to be learned there - appreciate each moment as it comes, not knowing with certainty when there will be another. I'm certain of many beautiful moments to come, but I'm not going to appreciate any one less based on another yet to come. I'm going to savor every moment I can.
Ironic political note:
So we invaded iraq based on WMD including chemical weapons. While you don't see it here, the BBC is reporting our own military admitting (at long last following many denials to the arab world) we used banned chemical weapons against insurgents:

I don't think this is the big deal people make it out to be, it might be a technicality (the US claims it uses phosphorus to illuminate and burns are incidental rather than the specific purpose) but the arrogance of the US to ignore a ban in which the entire world agrees to ban a substance as a chemical weapon, and we use it...and that's if we're telling the truth now. Of course, you won't hear about this on WTOP, FOX, CNN, or even a real network...

Date: 2005-11-16 03:06 pm (UTC)I was in a walking cast a few years ago and I was still passing most people on the street - it was pretty funny. I even walked across the Brooklyn bridge with some friends and their friends, and when I called for a rest and one of them complained at me with "What?! You have a broken leg or something?!" and I got to pull up my jeans' leg and watch their jaw drop and they started to stutter apologies. Pretty damn funny.
