The First Fall of the Season

I had a group meeting at 5 yesterday, the weather was a balmy -8 and I was rushing up the slope across to Wrigley building. My left shoe began to lose traction. I felt it happen in slow motion. It slid to the right, unbalancing me, and the right foot left the ground and all of me fell in a heap atop my left knee.

Ouch.


Long have I tried to put this day off. The first days of snow and ice, the roads of sleet in November; I thought my time had come then. Alas I couldn't keep it off forever.

Lump on my knee, ouch.

Update: Fell again today. The right knee this time.
