We talked about shoes in my first conversation with her and she said that she has some good winter shoes that she normally wears when out walking but for some reason was only wearing normal shoes that day…maybe because of where else she was going or (?)
I like the idea of spiked shoes and brought it up. When my parents were alive and still throwing their big Christmas caroling party every year, (maybe 20 years ago), I was in Mpls and slipped on some wet ice in their driveway and landed on my back. My melon made a loud cracking sound when it hit the pavement but I wasn’t knocked out…I let out one of those expressions that would get blocked out on this forum.
We talked about all of the concussions that my brother and I had as children. Mine were as a small child, falling off a wall and falling off of a playground “jungle gym” in kindergarten. That one was actually a pleasant memory…I woke up in the arms of my teacher who was a smoking hot 25 year old with huge tits. I honestly thought that I had died and gone to heaven for an instant. I wanted to do it again.
Anyhow…concussions are not a joke at our ages. They are dangerous as all hell. Be careful out there, Pelicans in the cold places, or warm places during a ski trip.
