I’m officially throwing in the towel. My knee is still gimpy from the last snow bash on Friday. Had to use the cane yesterday – nothing us old people love more than needing a cane. The knee is right on the edge of unstable and I’m hoping to nurse it for another few days and avoid the whole doctor thing.<\/p>\n
This means that the fluffy\/sloppy\/hellish white stuff on the ground is going to melt on the sun’s own time. I’m not touching it. I can’t. <\/p>\n
Nice to have an excuse.<\/p>\n
