---This is funny! But as for me I shall resume walking very shortly

as soon as I recover from my fall yesterday that has left me a bit on

the stiff side. Not as bad as I thought I would be but nonetheless

not as agile as I was before yesterday, not that I was super agile to

begin with!!!

as soon as I recover from my fall yesterday that has left me a bit on
