Today after we finished shopping at Kroger and we’d gotten Gary into the car, we saw Phil Zenor heading into the store. I hailed him, and he came over. I was breaking down Gary’s chair, and Phil asked if I wanted help or if I “had it down.” I told him I had it down, and Gary piped in that I do it all the time. I then proceeded to lose my balance backwards (not sure how), went stumbling several feet, and landed on my butt. Unfortunately, a woman with a grocery cart was passing by just at this moment, and I bashed the back of my head on the side of her cart. Ouch.

Gary was quite amused (after making sure I wasn’t seriously hurt, although I did get a headache and now have a sore head), and he laughed about my claiming to “have it down” and his saying “I do it all the time,” and then my falling on my butt – that was not what we meant!

We watched more Brooke Ellison in the evening. I believe the movie is based on a book, and I may have to get the book. We are wondering how realistic the movie is. This girl is always up. And at this point in the movie she’s at Harvard (it is true she graduated from Harvard – her mom right along side her all the way as her care giver) and this handsome, witty, lovable guy has apparently fallen in love with her. We are wondering if he knows about bowel programs.
