Ow, ow, ow...

So I was running this evening. (Side note: I just got approved for a new walking foot and they start work on it Tuesday. Yay! Funny how I can now run and ride bikes but not walk or stand for prolonged periods, eh?)

Anyway, I was into my fourth mile when I happened to see this woman with long read hair bending over to tend one of her yard plants. She was wearing a bikini top and a short, tight pair of black shorts. And she was in great shape. Did I mention that she was a red-head?

Thus distracted, I stepped off of the asphalt and put my foot into the gutter. My ankle flexed, my leg twisted, and I went down hard in the grass next to the road with numerous "pain" warning alarms going off in my head.

The Goddess I had been ogling admiring stopped what she was doing and came over to see if I was ok. And I think that she bought my claim of the setting sun being in my eyes as the cause of my mis-step. She thought that I should accept a ride back to my car instead of trying to run any more. I agreed, thinking that this could be the start of something nice.

But then she volunteered her husband to drive me back. And I'm not so sure that he bought the "sun in my eyes" excuse at all. Big sigh...

  10. Reminds me of a time when I was the tax representive for my military unit.

    I had noticed a great looking lady all around base. She appeared at Burger King, the gym, the base exchange. She always turned my head.

    One day when I was picking up tax forms at the legal office I passed a office and there she was. My head turned and next thing I know I was walking straight into a glass door and falling down. Damn the luck but she was good looking.

  12. I was in the grocery and this eldery man walked up and asked if he could talk to me for a moment. "Sure" I said, and we chit chatted briefly about the food prices. I then asked. . "why did you ask to talk to me, just curious" He said "I can't find my wife in the store, I looked everywehre and I'm getting tired. If I talk to a pretty women she'll find me within 4 minutes". Sure enough, here comes this small but lethel battleship in linen, with a scolding "Henry!!!" He smiled and said thanks and went off with her happily.
