just prior to the accident - note moose in background

close brush

So I am sitting here with a neck brace on and a bottle of lortab to hand after flying from an inner tube and planting myself headfirst in a snow bank yesterday. Thank god I am not dead or paralyzed! I'm just in masses of pain and have been told I must rest and stay away from work all week. This seems impossible, but I shall try my best. Up until the 'accident' it had been a beautiful hike up a canyon. We saw three moose and had a little picnic - all with Nancy who was visiting for the weekend. We had planned to go to a movie after the walk but instead got to have our very own episode of ER. Just incase, they insisted on strapping me to one of those backboards a la Hannibal Lector... and I got to have my first cat scan. How was everyone else's weekend?
