Fractured Olecranon – or one more poet with a lame broken arm excuse

Well, kids, I’ll be taking a bit of a break from my technology typing habits as I seem to have fractured my elbow bone (scientific name: olecranon) and my left arm is in a (mandatory) sling for 4-6 weeks! Everything is harder and slower with one arm, so forgive me for 1. not responding to e-mails as fast as usual for a while and 2. not posting more here, on Facebook and Twitter. In the meantime, I expect to be able to juggle one-handed by the end of a month’s time. If you ask how it happened, I will tell you a story about mountain biking and mountain lions, which might not be strictly true, but the break CAN be blamed on something with wheels, anyway. No, I was not trick skateboarding!

Hopefully, this time won’t make me insane, but this enforced sabbatical from such things as typing and cutting my own food with a knife AND fork will have some good effect down the road. I was hoping to be totally hale and hearty for AWP, but at least I thought to by my husband a spouse pass, so he can carry my books. So, if you want to get ahold of me, try calling instead of emailing, and maybe recommend some good books and movies.
