The worm as turned

AT 7:30 last night, I believe I was in mid sentence, I stopped. . . . . . what just happened.  All of a sudden the ALWAYS behind the scenes throbbing that while had been reduced  . . . was gone.

It was like a wave of  euphoria went over me.  Almost like that euphoria you feel after a really good dump (more on that later).  I felt like running around the kitchen. Did the penicillin kick in?  Is the Vicodin making me into a hope monkey?

I went to bed for the 1st time in 3 weeks in comfort.  Here is the think with Vicodin. It will make you feel good BUT will not really stop pain. and if that pain is severe feeling good will not over come said pain.

ON TO THE ROOT CANAL which is easy.  I would rather have a root canal then a filling.  Seriously.  With root canals they pretty much freeze your whole brain.  Cavities are just local and you feel "pressure" every so often.

Michael Finely - if you read about what he was feeling on the field after his injury?  WOW! 

It all happened very quickly. I remember seeing the defender out of the corner of my eye, and I intentionally lowered my head and shoulders to protect my knees. After I got hit, in the fourth quarter of our win against the Browns last week, my eyes were wide open. I was very conscious, but I could not move. I looked my teammate Andrew Quarless directly in the eye and whispered, "Help me, Q. I can't move; I can't breathe." The scariest moment was seeing the fear in Q's eyes. I knew something was wrong, but his reaction verified it. That really shook me up.

I actually had feeling in my legs, but I couldn't feel much else. On the field, the doctors were going through regular procedures, testing me on sense and touch, and asking me a multitude of questions. But because I was a little panicked, I couldn't breathe, which made it very difficult to answer. I remember one of the doctors telling me to "close my legs," and I simply could not. They ended up unscrewing my facemask before lifting me up on the stretcher. When I was exiting the field at Lambeau, I tried to raise my hand to give the fans a thumbs-up, but I got about halfway and couldn't raise my arm any further. I kept asking the neurosurgeon, "Will I walk again?" His answer was a definitive, "Yes, you are moving your legs right now." Then I asked, "Will I use my arms again? Will I play football again?" To those questions, I simply got, "I cannot answer that yet."

Halloween - FAIL

The first year we lived in Columbus we were all set for trick or treaters.  There were not many houses in our area but we were ready.  DJ waited be the door and all the children walked past our house to other houses.  WHAT IS WRONG!!   We found out later that we needed to have our lights on.

This year we got a huge bag of candy and were ready.  However - all of a sudden it seems our area is the place to go in Columbus.  I know Vista Circle now has 22 kids that ride the bus to school.

So DJ is giving out candy like there is no tomorrow and at 4:00 she says "we only have 8 pieces left" and as those word were leaving her mouth 8 kids came to the door.

Before we could turn out the lights, close the door and hide behind the couch  . . DING DONG!

OH KNOW!!!   DJ gets the door, I come forward and a little too old for this ghost is waiting at the door.  DJ runs off looking to ANYTHING and the kid says"that's OK" and gets ready to go but I give her the look of "NO YOU WILL GO KNOW WHERE".

DJ runs back smiling and gives the kid 2 quarters.  I starting laughing and the kid looks at us oddly and runs off.

Won't have to worry about HER next year.

I stopped in to say Hi to Steve our Econ Adviser and congratulate him on his wedding and he was talking to a Japanese dude.  I was introduced and I asked why he was here in Columbus and he said "Columbus"  He flew to Columbus from Japan to see what our connection was.

Obviously we need to consider an international airport for Columbus. I'll bring that up at the next city council meeting.     

If you see me walking around town - I have taken on the task of assessing parking in the downtown area.

OK - gotta get work done.

BTW - NFL system is hitting about .500.  NHL system is 24-3.  That's right   24 wins and 3 losses and the NBA starts soon - GO BUCKS!!! THIS IS THEIR YEAR!!!  LOL

OH -  " Almost like that euphoria you feel after a really good dump"

Actually this really happens- you know when you dog takes a big one and then runs around wild like for a while?  This happens to humans also.  I'm sure that you have felt a euphoria every so often after a particularly good dump.  This is because some gland is rubbed against that makes you feel this way - it's a real thing, not imagined.
