Ron Crumbaker sent me a message asking where I’ve been and
it got me thinking. I have been out of the loop for a while since my Vegas trip.
I’ll get to the stair dilemma in a second.
Where have I been?
Since MMS in Vegas I’ve been on a few camping trips, 2 weeks
in California (one week working at La Costa and one week vacationing), One week
on Cape Cod, Ma (Day trips to Province town and Martha’s Vineyard) and a week
in Chicago. As an aside, we went to
Buddy Guy’s in Chicago and he was actually there signing autographs. Besides
that work is still nuts since we went public. Lots of work to do. So that’s where
I’ve been. Too busy to post to the list. Just trying to get things done. But I
digress….back to the stairs. Don’t try this at home.
I bought a few frozen pies (pizza’s) at the local club store
and was attempting to go to the basement to put the pies in the extra freezer.
I started walking down the steps in the dark. I never turn the lights on. I’ve
lived in this house for 15 years. I know where I’m going…….right. Half way down
the steps I missed one. And then I missed the rest or that’s how I remember it.
I was in flight by then, spun around and landed at the bottom where the stairs
take a right hand turn. That’s when it happened. I landed on the corner of the
banister with my back side. Left cheek to be precise. I’ve never felt that much pain without
actually breaking something. Playing tons of sports as a child and as a young
adult I’ve broken plenty of things. Not quite like Evel Knievel, but enough to
know what pain is. I screamed out as loud as I could which made my Daughter
come running down the stairs. She asked if I was OK. I said NO! Please put away
the pies baby. Wasn’t her fault:) The first day it looked like Mars from afar.
The second day like Mars up close. Now a week later it is completely purple.
THE ENTIRE CHEEK. STOP LAUGHING! I can finally sit down. Every place we ate on
the Cape I had to sit with one cheek on the chair. It made my vacation really
uncomfortable to say the least. Click on the link at the bottom to see pics of
my vacation. No, not the butt pics. Nice ones. I will say this in closing.
Comedy’s hard but does it have to be so painful?
