Never having played baseball, I used my face as brake, something the pros avoid. I thought that I could get a moustache out of this while my lip healed. However, it was still a few days from respectability when my wife, who dislikes facial hair, made me shave.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-27542003754998315572017-06-01T10:53:59.416+01:002017-06-01T10:53:59.416+01:00It is indeed, Waldo, tho it wld be funnier if it w...It is indeed, Waldo, tho it wld be funnier if it were silent - the sound of a felled me hitting the ground was surprisingly loud. How can I be that heavy?<br />I'm weighing my moustache options, and hoping I might end up with a fetching Stacy Keach-style scar...<br />Nigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314891387515045404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-73299102408371486672017-06-01T06:02:13.684+01:002017-06-01T06:02:13.684+01:00I'm always surprised by the agility demonstrat...I'm always surprised by the agility demonstrated by my aging body when I fall. There's the quick bounce back into an upright position accompanied by the sheepish Alfred E. Neuman "What, me worry?" grin, the effect spoiled only by an inevitable small trickle of blood somewhere and perhaps a torn pant leg at knee level. I'm also intrigued by the fact that I seldom retain any memory of the actual descent to ground. I'm walking, my toe catches a tree root or I roll my ankle, and suddenly my nose is in the dirt. The whole process seems very funny in a silent movie kind of way.Waldonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-26177420253976485152017-05-31T17:31:10.880+01:002017-05-31T17:31:10.880+01:00Glad to hear you survived the affray.Glad to hear you survived the affray.Guy Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304053177188950094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-53661721617378254092017-05-31T17:30:24.243+01:002017-05-31T17:30:24.243+01:00Time to grow a Colonel Blimp moustache to cover th...Time to grow a Colonel Blimp moustache to cover the scar.
