pull down to refresh

Went out with the dog this morning and slid down the icy driveway. She is surefooted. I am not. Luckily no fall. It is about as cold and windy as I can recall in many years. 19 F. -7C with 30 mph winds. Getting the wood stoves going now.
I grew up with a very steep driveway and many mornings involved me slipping, falling, and sliding down to the bus stop. My mom also had many slides down to the bottom while taking the garbage cans down.

You should have seen me bringing the empty can back up the driveway.

I didn't mention it, but that's when I would slide back down after getting off the bus.

Ouch. Phases of falling in public; check yourself and then checking that no one saw you…

My wife has taken a few falls while walking our dogs over the years. She says they always stop and look at her with a "what the hell are you doing?" expression on their face.

Probably thinking… ‘it’s not nap time yet..’
