damn!

 I had a couple of close calls today


    We have lived here for over 50 years.  I know most of the streets by heart, having driven them so many times.

    I recognize houses and where they are located. 

    Jackie and I were driving back from the hairdressers.  We had gone to the south side to see the new apartment buildings being built for low to moderate income families.

    I was merrily driving west when I passed the old House of Photography building.  It was then I realized I had blown a stop sign. Did not even slow down.

    Not only that, it was one of the busier streets that I few across.

    Luckily, there was not a car in sight!  If a car had been coming, we would have been t-boned.

    When we came out of the hair dressers, I got Jackie in the car and loaded the wheelchair in the back end of the van.

    As I picked it up, my foot tripped on something and me and the wheelchair just sort of flopped into the van.

    My elbows and knees hurt, so does my back.  I landed on top of the chair and was lucky not to hit my head or face on the frame.

    I had a chiropractor appointment at 2.  I remembered that at 3.  I stopped in, and he said my back was a little out of alignment.  I told him about the tumble with the wheelchair.

    We had our last rehearsal tonight and it went well.  Yes, we did get a little carried away and went off script.  A lot.  But I think that just means we are all comfortable with our roles and characters.

    Two more nights.....but it is a busy weekend ahead!

Peace and Love
