If any of you follow my blog you will remember a blog from January 1st called Falling down.

This, I guess, is the Sequel!
OK... I guess the best way to do this is to just tell you all what happened....
I am sitting watching TV, with my laptop browsing the internet and the phone rings.
Mary is upstairs, so I look over and see Toll Free Call....
I put the laptop down, stood up and walked over to the end of the couch, reached over the dog and picked up the phone.
Before I could press the talk button I started to slowly fall down.
And I mean slowly. I was sort of stumbling backwards, but not really fast enough to call it stumbling.
I fell so slowly that it seemed like I would catch myself before I went all the way to the floor.
I don't know what I tripped over.
I just kept falling backwards.
I ended up on the floor in front of the TV.
All the way across the room.
I fell so slowly that I could look around the room and see what was going on.
I noticed the dog was watching me fall with a confused look on his face.
I saw Mary and Jordan watching me fall. Jordan had time to come over and was almost there in time to catch me before I finally hit the floor.
Dillinger had gotten up from the floor and walked over to meet me when I hit the floor.
So there I am on the floor, and I realize I still had the phone in my hand, and it was still ringing. So I answered it.
It was a recording.
Jordan was right there asking if I needed him to help me up...
I said "No, I'm on the phone... "
Now about an hour later, I am thinking... I must have hit my arm on something on the way down...
My arm is throbbing from my elbow to my wrist, and my shoulder is sore...
Oh well... That is my new falling down blog

Ethan is very intelligent, but he was born blonde. Even if his hair isn't blonde now, he still is.
Ethan is a very intelligent person. He has always done very well in school, better than I ever did. But how can I put this other than Ethan has been having some blonde moments...
This happens from time to time and Mary and I just have to laugh and laugh.
First example
Ethan has one key for his car... you buy an auction car and you get one key. We have to go to Ford or a locksmith to get a new key made, because of the chip in the key. They can't just make a key at the hardware store. You may ask, what is the Blonde moment here? Well here you go...
He went to the store to purchase some video game... When he got home he went straight to his room to play the game.
Then when it was time to go to work, he could not find his key. He looked all over his room, the kitchen, Jordan’s room, the bathroom, and even in the basement.
Then he didn't have enough time to look for it so borrowed Mom's car and went to work.
So Jordan says "I'll find 'em."
5 minutes later from Ethan's room we hear Jordan yell out.. "Found them!"
Where were they?
On his bed, UNDER HIS FITTED SHEET!
Don't ask me how he did it, but that's where they were Under the sheet.
2nd example.
Ethan drives to the Train Station and rides the train downtown. Then he and I ride home together and he drives me home. He has always parked at Belmont station. I showed him where to park at Downers Grove Main street. He has parked there and then I rode home with him.
Friday he was going to get off early so was not going to be able to give me a ride home.
I got off early and meet him at the train.
He says, "I parked at Belmont today, I wasn't sure that I could find my way home without you there....
Now... he has driven there a few times and parked there... He knows how to get there but not how to get home? Are you kidding me?
And the third happened today.
He was fixing his supper. He got the left over Pizza out of the fridge and put it on the pizza stone, and put the Pizza in the oven. He set the timer, and then sat down to wait for his pizza.
The timer goes off and he steps into the Kitchen... We hear him say, "Aw Nuts, I forgot to turn the oven on!"
Yes... my boy may now have dark hair... but his is still blonde once in a while.
Now all you easily offended blonds, please note the first line of this blog.

Behind in my posts
Haven't posted in a while... Been too lazy. So here for you all.... multiple posts in one!
I have an update on my workouts.... been hurt, so haven't been going to work out. Gotta start over.
I went to watch the Golden Gloves Semi-finals. I was very happy to be able to go, and we had a very good time!
Took my bike in for the annual service. But now I have an oil leak.. I have to take it back and see what they can do about it... It is leaking at the oil filter so it should be easy for them to fix.
But it has been barely warm enough to ride anyway... of course, I still go! But it has been cold.
