"There Are NO Agonizing Hanging Weights, NO Tough Exercises, NO Painful And Hard-To-Use Pumps, And There Is NO Dangerous Surgery Involved. "

A week ago, my two-year-old son Graham decided he wanted to play with one of those glass Pyrex measuring cups. I asked him to put it away and he did not like that idea. So he threw it on the floor. It did not break of course. I didn't react except to say "Put that back in the cabinet." Then he picked it up and threw it again, closer to me, right on my second toe on my left foot. It hurt. Turns out the little stinker BROKE my toe. He was just being two, I know. My toe turned all sorts of pretty colors. Starting off with a delightful slate, followed by a nauseating eggplant, and finally a deep merlot.

It seems to be okay now. Although it hurt the day before we got our first rain in 5 weeks. Could my foot be a predictor of precipitation? Watch this space for an update soon!
