healing well & been cleared to ride stationary bike which is not to be confused with stationery bike.

we have a fitness center at work, and i think i'll request that maintenance move a stationary bike outside so that i can experience fresh air & sunshine while stationarily biking. or, even better, they should get a pickup truck and put the stationary bike in the back of it and drive me around while i am biking, thus belying the "stationary" moniker with satisfying irony. i see absolutely no flaws in this plan.

the circus is in town & they're running a special deal where you can get circus tix in exchange for a gun. no, seriously. you give them a gun, they give you circus tix. right. um... how many freakin guns do you have lying around the house that you can spare one for circus tix? "c'mon daddy, i wanna see da elerfants!" "okay, okay, babyboy... let me see... the handgun or the shotgun... hmmm..." and how about this scenario - daddy-o takes his glock down to trade for circus tix, and gets there and finds out that the circus has sold out. babyboy won't get to see the elerfants. daddy-o loses his cool over the lack of tix, and lookie here how convenient - he's armed. whoo!! duck!!

many trains pass through the town where i live. not around the town or by the town. right directly through the town. so there are train tracks everywhere you look and trains on most of the tracks most of the time and occassionally the trains will blast their horns. a train horn blasting in the heart of the city during rush hour is much less romantic than the distant train whistle echoing through the hills in the long summer twilight.

today i was hopping around the restroom from the sink to the paper towel dispenser b/c i am not supposed to be putting weight on my left foot and i hate when the crutches are wet so i wanted to get my hands dried before i grabbed the crutches. a coworker came in and she was like - «what are you doing hopping around at your age?» jeeps. i didn't realize there was an age limit on hopping. good to know. wouldn't want to get a citation from the ambulation police.

stopped by the liberry on the way home and it was closed but it's cheaper to pay the fines than to purchase even one book so i kept one of the overdue books - the grisham - and turned the rest in. hope it's enjoyable b/c my plan for tomorrow is to sit around and read the book and grow bone.
