THE EVENT Thursday, August 13, 2009

I am going on a cruise to Alaska.  A first cruise, a first look at Alaska.  I am all packed.  All arrangements for the home front have been made.  I am relaxed.  

I must state that I am the worlds biggest advocate of sensible shoes.  Even my dress shoes are sensible.  I only wore the flip flops because they are so comfortable and we were only going out to breakfast.  Walking the dog after breakfast in the dog park would be ok in flip flops, surely.
I told Husband that I did not want to go on the trail system in my flip flops so we would just stick to the park.  But . . . then I got talking.   I wasn't paying any attention and headed down the steep, wet grassy hill.  Swoop, I was skiing on flip flops.  Crash.  Sharp pain.  Ankle at pretty much right angle  and very painful.  

Mind you, this is not the first time talking with out thinking has gotten me into trouble.  In fact it has pretty much been a way of life for me.
