Dave Makes a Decision

That's it! No more physical labor ever! If it's worth doing, it's worth having done by a qualified professional.

These thoughts ran through my mind yesterday about 0.75 seconds into a fall from a ladder — about 10 feet.

The good news: No head injury, and I wiggle my toes and fingers just fine.

The bad news: Broken rib and chewed-up lower back. (Nothing that won't heal in time.) Ah well, I guess I'll be taking an indefinite sabbatical from my Aikido studies....

one time when rosemary and i were in cleveland, we went for a walk and happened to notice a guy on a ladder that was placed on top of an upside down plastic garbage can which was placed on top of a picnic table. he was holding a chain saw and was about to try to remove a branch from a tree. we ran as fast as we could and didn't look back.
