Actually I felt quite proud that I fluently dodged swinging elbows, flying towels and the like while not losing any concentration, nor being the slightest bit distracted by it. The nic is minor and the first in a long time.
We're heading for two days of rain and then three days of near tropical temperatures.
Oh, and the garage is in progress.

You know you're zen precisely when all hell breaks loose and you get through it blameless!!! The nick is only to remind you're still among us!!
