How Obama tripped me up

[lblanchard]

Really.

The Phillies won the World Series tonight. So we walked down to Broad Street to enjoy all the drunks honking their horns and hooting and hollering.

On the way back, we passed the Obama South Philly headquarters. Whose lights were not on. Which building has a cellar door sticking out into the sidewalk. Which I tripped on, bruising two knees, two wrists, and one cheek, bending my glasses and breaking my digital camera.

Roy thinks I should sue. I think stuff happens. But I may point out the hazard to the landlord.

OW! I'm so sorry! I'm glad you're only bruised.

But I'm glad the Phillies won--when I went to sleep it was tied.

You should definitely point out the hazard to the landlord--it will be important to have clear sidewalks on Tuesday night. Celebration or comiseration, the sidewalk should be free of that kind of obstacle.

I'm glad you're only bruised.

Yikes! Was your previously-injured wrist re-injured?

I hope you don't need them, but if you should need new glasses be sure to check out zennioptical.com. They feature $8 for a complete pair.

Mine are bifocals and I opted for stainless steel frames and antireflective coating and clip-on sunglasses, and all that took it up to $55, shipped.

And they're excellent glasses.

After I calmed down I realized that I had gone out with my backup glasses, the ones I use for crocheting so I don't usually take them out of the sitting room, on my face instead of my good new ones.

And I seem to have wrenched my bad wrist back into its original position -- that is to say, it felt yowch and also crunch and now it clicks occasionally but is virtually pain free.
