  • This week...in Springfield....


    Well, it has been an interesting one.  On monday when I woke up I had a little mishap with my loft.  I stepped on the ladder and it decided to lay down on the job.  As the ladder crashed to the floor I caught myself on the edge of the loft.  However...the loft is carpeted....and it is 5 feet high.  I didn't just want to drop the remaining  2 feet to the floor because there was a ladder there which I could twist an ankle on...needless to say I attempted to slowly lower myself the remaining two feet.  Unfortunately...as I shifted my weight my arms slid from their resting place on the carpeted loft and I did the nestea plunge onto the ladder....


    Later that day I slipped on a concrete porch after one of my deliveries and kinda bounced down 4 concrete steps on my back and posterior.


    Needless to say...it was a rough day that I am still feeling....I guess it wasn't too bad in the end...I was able to get up after the falls...


    Today was a very interesting day....I got to listen to Dave Roever speak at a luncheon to honor war veterens.  For those of you who don't know who Dave Roever is...well he is a vietnam vet that lost half his face and was terribly scarred on one side of his body from a grenade going off in his hand.  http://www.daveroever.net/


    Check out his web site....he is an amazing speaker with an awesome testimony.

  • Sounds like a pretty tough day...falling isn't fun, but I think you already found that out!  I hope the pain doesn't return after your sleep...like after my horseback riding the next day was painful, but my pain is worth it...yours probably not

  • Dave Roever is the man.  Yeah, waking up to find out Duke had lost was tough.  At least Memphis (my number 2 teams since I moved down there in 2004 and got to watch them live) are still in it.  Hopefully Washigton will take out UCONN tonight.

  • We flew. Ryanair so it was relatively cheap. That first paragraph makes it sound like you're 3ft tall. Ha, ha! And yea, I've heard him speak at SOM years ago. Awesome and moving story. Well, hope your week has improved!

  • I guess the MK office should have brought ice cream to you instead!!!  Dave Roever is amazing!  I hope your week gets better...

  • heya,

    I've known him since i was about 6 or so....i used to draw him pictures and he'd keep them in his Bible all the time, lol. Haven't seen him for about 5+ years though....who knows? But yeah: great testimony.....oh yea...

  • wow! so you did really fall backwards and looked at the ceiling.  dang!  sounds as painful as some of the stuff I do.

  • HEY XANGA-MALE, help me out by answering some questions on my site. Thanks!

  • Hehe...wow- well I suppose all those falls gave you an interesting (although brief) new view to your surroundings =) Sweet- Dave Roever sounds like a cool guy, although I've never met him personally my dad has, so he was just telling me about it while I was looking at his sight... hehe (its a small world after all...) Well I'm sorta tired so I guess I'll head to eat (I'm not quite sure how that connection works, other then eating might get my mind off of the sleepiness :P ) So, I will talk to ya later! -val
