if you've read dan's post you know that he had quite a fall yesterday. he willing sacrificed his body to make sure that jaden didn't get hurt. i'm glad it was dan and not me because i fear my instints would not have been so parental. my instincts...not good, my reflexes...also not good. i don't think it would have been a pretty picture.

speaking of reflexes...have you ever done that game where you stand up and hold your arms straight out with palms facing forward, and then someone stands and drops a yard stick through your hand and you measure from where you caught it? there have been times where i barely grabbed the yardstick before it hit the floor. not good.

you should ask dan about my driving reflexes. i think he may still be tramatized from my many exit misses on the highway.

my clothes don't fit right today. i keep pulling at them and adjusting them. i feel like a human in hobbit clothes. and just so you all know, my belt is on it's last hole...which means if i get any fatter i will have to retire it. granted, i've had the belt since college and i am wearing my pants lower on my hips, yet somehow those are small consilations.

...and i have food stuck in my teeth.

do you ever have fever dreams (hallucinations) where things look normal, but everything feels wrong? that is what today feels like. a big fever dream.
