To begin with (unlike the text from my sister), my dad is basically fine.

To begin with (unlike the text from my sister), my dad is basically fine.  However yesterday he was working on a scaffold that collapsed out from under him.  The scaffold was low, only man high, so it's not as bad as it could've been.  But apparently he got banged up, there were some cuts/abrasions and this morning he's really sore.

Still...the guy is in his 70's and I'm kinda hoping I have that sort of resilience when I'm his age, the common sense not to go fooling around on scaffolds by myself and the money to hire attractive, competent young people to do that sort of work for me while I admire their...,,competency,,.

  1. Eeek! I don't envy the heart attack the text message must have caused.

  3. Yikes! So glad he's okay, and that you've got the resilient genetics you don't have to learn about the hard way.
