Determined to initiate the long foreboding process of regaining honor lost, despite chronic melancholia—I forced myself to leave my convalescence within the safe confines of my humble abode to mount me trusty Pugsley, committed to a two hour training ride of substance. Not more than shouting distance out from home I encountered an icy patch, went down like a ton of bricks, jamming my shoulder. Stunned, I laid there wallowing in self-loathing for a few moments, gathered myself, and quietly wept as I limped my treacherous bicycle back home, where I climbed back onto the Couch of DISHONOR! Dear Reader: If you are a God-fearing man, pray for my soul….
OUCH Old Man!! I feel your pain. Stinks to be old and fall, I don't bounce like I used to. JP

ReplyDeleteSee you next weekend, should be a of fun!
Oh, good lord. This is getting uncomfortable to watch/read.
ReplyDelete"Turned around and went back to the couch"??? I'm with Jeremy on this one, yet I cannot turn away. Remember, 'mall walking' seems pretty safe.
ReplyDeleteJust be careful not to pull out in front of those ole lady mall walkers, they will run you over.
ReplyDeletehope your feeling better soon

ReplyDeleteWe are not now that strength which in old days
Moved heaven and earth, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

I think that maybe Charlie has hired a nurse that is quite comely, and perchance is trying to give her reason for comforting him.
ReplyDeleteGood lawd, I have been severely traumatized just reading this.
