I'm more broken than you

You might be an oldy oldster.

Might? I think the one thing we've established here on D00M is that we're all old oldsters.

I can walk. I CAN WALK!

Still might skip iaido tonight. Not at 100% yet.

At this stage of your ankle, skipping would be contra-indicated.....

I'm hoping to be back in skankin mode by tomorrow.

More so for Saturday.

Was it two days of hiking last weekend? I wore hiking boots so I had ankle support.
Was it some reoccurring geeze disease that will flare up when I have some big walking demand?
Was it ninjas poisoning my socks again?

Now we wake from a dream
Well, baby
Want was that?

Somehow, my iphone spelchuk has learned the word Thar and it replaces that with Thar a lot. Spelchuk will be the death of me and it’ll come from the lift.
