<DIV>Greetings good folk all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While exhibiting my chacteristic grace and lightness of foot on Friday
evening's dog-walking constitutional, my left ankle shifted out from under me
and my right ankle broke on the way down. Go ahead and laugh.....My daughter
did, I did. Hell, I'm still laughing. Just call me "Hopalong".<IMG

<DIV>My dear sweet son, Morgan did his best to help me get back home all the
while wrangling a frisky, unconcerned dachshund. Bless his little chivalrous
heart, he wanted me to lean on him while we hobbled along. I've got the
sweetest son! <IMG

<DIV>I therefore will be on a small sabbatical until I can get it stabilized
in a cast or (my preference) a walking boot. It is a small dual spiral type
break on the outside bone(tibia), just above the foot(above the malleolus). No
biggie.....except that I can't drive and the crutches are killing
me.<grin> Guess it'll be tunics and trews for a bit, huh? But don't
worry, I'll be back in the bardic circle before you know it, and I'm sure I
can sit at Demos if need be.</DIV>
<DIV> Branwyn, could you please call me (817-874-1383) about getting the
items from the demo back? Thanks. </DIV>
<DIV>And Tiggy, I WILL be there at Beltane on Friday night, even if I have to
hobble the whole way!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Still got my sense of humor,</DIV>
<DIV>Elanor O'Ruark</DIV>
