Yikes Indy, I hope you are ok! I bet he just meant that you fell in a lady-like manner and that your skirt didn't really fly up that high

Please let me leave for vacation on Saturday without killing myself in the meantime. On my way out of my building a few minutes ago on a trip to my bank, I tripped and fell down 4-5 limestone steps. I hit my left knee and my left elbow. Both are torn up a bit. Owie. Oh, and my skirt totally flew up as I landed on the pavement in front of an offloading city bus. One of the men standing there says--as he kindly helped me up--"you sure fell pretty." I don't know if he meant I fell hard or if I fell with my panties showing. Dear Lord....

Yikes, Indy! Hope you aren't as messed up from your fall as I am from mine. Have a good vacation...

Thanks, dear!
Utah. We're doing the same tour that Veronica just did along the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands NP. Then we have another four days in Moab for some hiking and chillin'. I'm excited (and a wee bit scared, as I'm not as well trained for this as I'd like).
How you doing these days? How's your mom and your honey? And your new hot bike?

Ouch Indy. "You sure fell pretty" is the best thing I've heard anyone say in that situation, when pretty is the last thing you're feeling. Hope you're not hurt!
Have fun!

Thanks for asking. Marathon is a week from Saturday. It's been tough trying to get treatment for my neck though, especially since we just moved back north and I don't have a chiropractor or a decent massage therapist here yet. Tried to see someone yesterday and long story, but it was bad news and didn't happen. Have an appointment with someone else tomorrow... I can race the way I am if I have to, but my neck is so far out that something's pressing on my trachea (SCM tendon by the feel of it), and on top of the muscle spasms that's really uncomfortable.
Utah is beautiful. Have a wonderful time!
Pax, glad things are settling down for you, and that you're getting a chance to blow some of those cobwebs out on that sexy 600.

(((Oak))). I hope you get straightened out soon and in time for the race. It seems like every year brings something new, or at I feel that way about my own injuries/illnesses. I at least got my endo to take me off the anti-thyroid drugs. I've been mildly hypo since last fall. Here's hoping!

So while I've long been a reader, I've always shied away from the Classics--to my detriment, of course. Anyway, I started Dickens' Bleak House last night on my relatively new Kindle. So far so good, although I decided to print off a list of characters so I can keep everybody straight as I read. Is anybody here a Dickens fan?

I'm glad things are getting better for you and your mom, Pax. It's good to see you on TE! We've missed you!

Somehow I missed this, Oakleaf, I am so sorry that you are going through this. It sounds, very much, like what I went through with my whiplash injury...now I need to go to the running thread and see what happened! I hope that you are able to do your marathon and you are feeling much better by then.
I always liked Great Expectations. When I was 18 or so I found an old leather bound copy of it in a used bookstore in Brown County IN. I struggled to part with the $10 or so they were asking, but it was leather! I still have it 30+ years later, my first "real" book purchase.
