When Good Doors Go Bad
January 31st, 2003I think I’ve been listening to fire and rain too many times this week. This is the second morning I’ve woken up feeling kind of sad, and I prefer to blame it on James Taylor. It doesn’t help that I only have six songs on my winamp playlist, so fire and rain plays constantly. It’s such a good song though.
I don’t know, I’m just glad I’m not sore today. I had a good little jarring yesterday.
On the way to the post office, I pass a seminar room. Yesterday I saw there were people in the room, and like a fly to a cow pattie, I was irreprably drawn to the spectacle. WIth my head craned right, I failed to notice the swinging door *directly in front of me*. So with a huge thud, my body hit first, on my head, and then all down my shoulder.
And all the chemicals in my body shook. I was a walking martini shaker.
The seminar kids got a big kick out of that - it was probably the most excitement they’d had during their session. Amazingly, I was alright. My arm hurt a little, but my head didn’t really hurt at all. Now that scared me quite a bit. I mean, that door ran into me pretty hard, and look where it hit:
Either I have two-by-fours for brains, or I don’t know what. I guess you could say I’m hard headed
