Hopefully the back will get better.<br /><br />John- I hope you can sort out your back issues as well.<br /><br />Jerry- I've grown quite attached to my beard over the years (and the early greyness). I try not to bore folks with ailments but figured I had to pipe up with a blog post explaining why I wasn't posting of late. And thanks for the advise, sir. And welcome!<br /><br />baygirl- I plan to keep away from the hospital! And welcome back to The Rock, BTW.<br /><br />Elspeth- Thank you kindly. I shall seek out a fixer.

You know how I feel about wasting wine.<br /><br />It's good to see you back in print form, Mr. Davidson. Maybe you should hire someone to walk on that broke back of yours (no cowboy jokes, I swear) - you know, like on the Jeffersons. Maybe a good character building chore for the boy.Lauritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688820247531607677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136127029720129227.post-76273512432199671612011-11-16T20:45:34.007-03:302011-11-16T20:45:34.007-03:30So glad to see you I left the same comment twice.So glad to see you I left the same comment twice.Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136127029720129227.post-40001520277112249092011-11-16T20:44:52.788-03:302011-11-16T20:44:52.788-03:30This comment has been removed by the author.Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136127029720129227.post-74445973897633410082011-11-16T20:44:51.608-03:302011-11-16T20:44:51.608-03:30No, you have NOT lost your sense of humour.

That codeine dispenser sounds like a wickedly awesome idea. I'd buy it for sure! You really need to buy the boy one of those thumping machines and have him run it up and down your 'broke' back once in a while.<br />Did I just say 'broke' back?
