If I ever do a marathon, I won’t be able to run half of it – I’m a below-knee amputee and blades are (1) not generally designed for below-knee amputees, (2) insanely expensive, and (3) not covered by insurance. So I race walk. In fact, I’ve DFLed just about every distance – fun run to half – that I’ve ever done. And I make zero apology to you or anyone else for the distance stickers on my vehicle.
My first year as an elf, I was visited by a lovely young lady with Down’s Syndrome who was beyond excited to meet a real elf. I have seen her each season since (both bunny season and Santa season) but did not see her this past Christmas, and I wondered about her.
However, she showed up yesterday, as excited to see me as ever. :-)
We are going to Jason’s Deli for the Woman’s corned beef sandwich. And then we are coming home. Being 4’5" (135 cm, for our non-US Orbsters) is far less advantageous when surrounded by drunks on St. Patrick’s Day than when surrounded by children at Christmas.
After the last three years, I think it’s generally understood that our overlords occasionally commandeer our means of communication, with less than desirable results.
“It’s all fun and games until you ignore your wife when she asks you to skip work today.” – meme I created for my business page a number of years back.
