Sunday

No slip. No slide.

I made a mistake today.

Just so you know, the slip and slide -- you know, the long-rubbery-slippery-child-runway that you put down on your lawn and sprinkle water all over so that when you go running from really far away and dive head-first onto it you slide all the way to the end -- the one you played for hours on when you were a kid until you were all pruned up?

Yeah. It's not made for adults.

Ouch.

No slipping. No sliding. Just falling like a ton of bricks, smashing my guts.

I must have missed the note on the box: not made for adults over 30.

Just so you know.
