a couple of sundays ago i was putting barkley back in eric ballou's backyard (where barkley lives). eric was in the middle of having some work done on his house so there were a few ladders leaned up against the house. there were some insane gusts of wind that day in richmond. right after barkley and i went through the gate into the backyard a strong wind kicked up and out of nowhere i felt a blow to the back of my head. i quickly realized i had a 30ft. ladder on my back so i threw it off and took cover because the wind was still going strong and i had no idea what else might be falling. after about 20 seconds or so the wind calmed down so i bent down to latch barkley up on his leash and that's when the blood started flowing. and it kept coming. i had to wake eric up from his nice sunday nap and ask him take me to the emergency room. i ended up getting 8 staples. i had them taken out a few days ago in our school's oral surgery clinic. the attending, dr. smagaslski, took out the first one in front of a small audience of my own classmates and then let each of them take one out. he even guided my hand back there and let me take out the last one. fun. so in the past 5 months i've spent two sundays in the e.r. i've decided that from now on i'm only going out on sundays to go to church and back and that's it.
