We’re in New England this week.
Among other things — I’d forgotten how incredibly slow dial-up is. Once one has grown accustomed to broadband, it’s really difficult to make oneself sit down long enough for the pages to load.
(grrr)
Been a great trip, though, right up until yesterday afternoon — when I discovered that hiking half a mile out of the woods on a broken foot is hard to do. (On the good news side, the emergency room people were impressed by how tough I am.)
So. I’m coming back tomorrow night. On crutches.
Can’t wait to navigate the airport with luggage.

My apologies for not posting in over a week. The aftermath of the Iranian election has caught me up fully, and I’ve been unwilling (unable) to take my eyes from it. And what, really, could I add to the general …
The floors are in now, and we’re in the process of pulling our home (and lives) back together. Since we spent over two years agonizing over the hows and whens and whats of this ambitious adventure, I thought I’d pass …
Every day, the papers are full of stories about people who died doing something really stupid while they were drunk. A couple of recent examples include the girlfriend dangled from a twenty-third story balcony, or this woman who ran out …
I’ve been playing around with a number of draft posts this week, looking for a way to explain the words dropped at the end of a post a couple of days ago: “Cross-posted at The Moderate Voice”. Here’s why. Joe …
Aawww! And you’re all alone, too!! 🙁 No one to help tote all that luggage around, no one to commiserate with, no one with whom to share the load. Well, shuckeydurn! Should I arrange for an ambulance service upon your arrival back here at IAH? Aawww! :(:(
On a more serious note, are you going to tell us how you broke your foot? Were you hiking all alone? Were you running from a bear? Were you climbing a tree to try and get the best possible angle for a good photograph? WHAAT? Will this story subsequently be made into a movie? WHAAT?
Hiking out in the woods? You sure it wasn’t actually a trip to Argentina?
I kid, of course. Sorry about your foot!
@Michael — hahaha! I really REALLY need to come up with a better story for this. Just plain “I was out hiking” sounds kinda dumb.
I think I need a narrative along the lines suggested by Goldenrod. Something that includes bears.
On the good news side, though — I really love hiking in New Hampshire — Especially when I know the temperatures back at home are over 100 degrees. LOL!
Sorry to hear about the injury – but you do realize that kicking tree stumps out of the way really isn’t a good idea, right? 😉
