transition

Captdan here,
           First blog entry ever!!!! Six weeks of hell, putting the condo on the market, many trips to goodwill, storage and the fifth wheel, did I say many????? Only fell down twice, the first in the driveway, one of those where you feel like you are wearing clown shoes and you could trip over an ant, unfortunately it was a driveway lip but by now I have learned to fall with aplomb!!!!! You can do that when you are 66, I've had a lot of practice, no frantic arm waving or hop-skip-jump, just fall, let it happen, be the fall, embrace it! The second time was a pisser!!! End of the day, tired, sore from the fall two days ago, pissed off more because it ( duh, Portland) was raining, on a stepladder next to the truck bed, pulling(duh), it came and I went!!! Now normally this one would would of hurt, up kinda high, falling straight back but I was saved!!!! I was next to the gutter and it being Portland (duh) it had four inches of running water in it!! I don't know what startled me more, the impact when I landed or the shock of ice cold water from ankles to neck!!!! I didn't tell j9 till we were almost home, a lot of laughter.
