Started the spring with a heel spurr.
Early August I injured my ribs working on my boat.
This month I stubbed my toe and developed an ingrown toenail.
Of course I let it go too long until it got infected and sore as hell.
Today I went to the doctor for relief. He had me lay on the exam table
and proceeded to jamb his scissors between the nail and toe so he could
cut a v-shaped wedge along one side and rip it out. He didn't warn me he
was going to do the operation without freezing.
After, he informed me that the freezing doesn't take well with infection
present.
Now I'll be wearing sandles for a few days and expect every fifth person
I encounter to step on or stub my toe. Wonder if I can get my steel
toed shoes on?

Sorry to hear about your toe - I broke my left big toe this Spring and
it wasn't pretty.

If it helps you out any, one of my tenants has a black lab who dug a
tunnel/hole half way to the other street which I promptly fell into
this afternoon while cutting the grass which threw me off my lawn
tractor causing me to land on my bad shoulder which is to be operated
on in November and now hurts like hell.

Thanks Tom....that picks me up.
It always helps to hear of someone in worse shape. ;-)

We could form a new singing group...The Klutzes Three. Wait...can either
of you sing? I can't.


Funny you should ask. I used to sing Barbershop both chorus and
quartet when I was in high school. We had a big SPEBSQSA chapter in
town and most of us garage band types (there were three popular garage
bands in town) sang acapela for various functions and it was a natural
way to train with folks who really knew how to sing.

It was a ton of fun, I'll tell you what.

However I lost my singing voice after straining my vocal cords
screaming at a group of putzes during a training session when they
really annoyed me something fierce when I was in the service.

I actually miss it to tell the truth.

I was a member of the Basilica boys Choir for a number of years...but
after my voice changed I went downhill.

Of course - at one time it had one of the only original wooden roller
coasters on the East Coast designed by some Italian guy - it is now a
jewish retirement complex. :)


On the South Shore, we used to hang out at Paragon Park in Hull. Located on
Nantasket Beach, Paragon also had an old, rickety wooden roller coaster that
was, for at least a while, the wildest ride in New England. My parents
forbade me to ride on the thing, so of course it was always the first ride
we headed for when arrived at the park.

I found some info on it:

Length: 4000'
Height: 98'
Drop: 88'
Inversions: 0
Speed: 53 mph
Duration: 1:52

When the park was closed, the coaster was dismantled and relocated at what
is now Six Flags America in Maryland. The coaster is still in operation.

Wasn't there a big dance hall there - place for bands and dancing and
stuff like that?

I seem to remember that there was a big Battle of the Bands there once
and the garage band I was in did a pretty respectable third place
doing some Beatles tunes.

Yup, sure was. I forget the name, but it was located at the rear of the
Park, down by the bumper car ride. Before my time, some big time swing bands
used to play there including the Tom Dorsey orchrestra.

Nantasket Beach had something for everybody and for all ages, including some
really seedy nightclubs. Fake ID's were easy then.

Really? Cedar Point is the only place to go it you like roller
coasters? That's odd. Do people that go to other amusement parks NOT
like roller coasters? Do other amusement parks not have roller
coasters? Seems the last time I was at Six Flags Georgia, there were
several. See he

http://tinyurl.com/92jwu

And Theme Parks Insider lists the Kraken at Sea World of Orlando as the
best pick.

So, I think you are erred in thinking there is only one amusement park
to go to if you like roller coasters. I like them, and have enjoyed
them in several places, and have never been to Cedar Point. I'd like
to, someday, because they do have many cool roller coasters, and people
do say it IS the best place to go, but alas, not the ONLY place, as you
have stated.
