New Dave Barry Column. Also: Minor Fencing Injury.

Dave Barry wrote an election columnIn other news, "Ow."  My foot is elevated over my keyboard tray, resting on a ice pack, and turning black-and-blue in very puzzling places, after I stepped wrong and went down while fencing tonight.  Luckily, it is only the foot part of my foot that is in pain, not the ankle.  Everyone there was very nice, and

Ouch! I'm sorry to hear you hurt yourself, and I hope you feel better soon.

[studiesinlight]

Thank you. It's better this morning than it was last night, and I'm hoping for continued progress. No high heels today, though!

Oooh, work on the drills at really odd hours to confuse the heck out of your downstairs neighbors! Please? ;)

Sorry about your foot. Shall we postpone Sunday? I just think the drive and the walking will not be fun. The movie will be there.

No. Sorry. ;-)

>"Shall we postpone Sunday?"

If we postpone, it's all the way to the weekend of 11/22-11/23, because I'm seeing my sister next weekend. Is that okay? Or just let me drive to work and see how it goes. It's better this morning than it was last night. But I'm also facing a "check engine" light in my car, and have an appointment for Saturday for a new dealer to look at it (my old dealer went out of business).

I'm free that weekend. Take this weekend easy. Besides, it'll give me time to write. ;)

As discussed on email: yeah. My foot is still swollen. Sorry, and thank you.

And I wish you good writing! :-)

Oh, feel better soon. And really do keep your foot up, even if it means propping it up on a box at work. It helped a lot with my ankle.

[studiesinlight]

Thank you. I kept it propped on the bottom of an upsided recycling bin on Friday, with a bag of ice that had long since turned to a bag of water by the time I went home. It's still swollen here on Saturday, but much, much less painful.
