“The gym” accident is only a cover. The only thing I can say is: Afghanistan, rescue operation, 7,000’ vertical, a baby in my hands, rappel, enemy cuts the rope, 300’ free fall, 6300’ slide, 310’ free fall to the ground, ankle broken, baby unscratched.

I'm calling big time BS on this one.

The baby was scratching.

Unfortunately, the role of Thaddeus Stevens in Lincoln was already taken, and besides, it called for a right club foot, not left. Otherwise, it might be just the role for you.

I'm a lover, not a fighter. :)

Plus, I know what prison looks like and would like to avoid going there for an extended "visit". Unleash some pent up rage here and things will get ugly. :)

Is that light the end of the tunnel or a train?

Speaking of Urine

During the transition from the Clinton Presidency to the Bush Presidency Bill invited George over for tea. After several cups of Earl Grey George had to relieve himself. That night George said to Laura "I can't believe that guy he has a solid gold urinal." And Bill said to Hillary "I can't believe that guy he peed in my saxophone".

Cheers and heal up before geezerhood sets in.

Oh and just in case you are a fan of American Football,
The end.

Hey Moose a word of advise, make the transition from laying to standing gradually. The rush of blood and pressure to the injury can be excruciating. Go slow Heal fast.
