brief serious note:

I almost had a serious car accident on the way to teaching rounds yesterday. It was dark, and I hit a kangaroo. I didn't even see it for a second before i hit it. I slammed on the brakes. It spun me around. I didn't swerve, but the car swerved anyway. It was a big kangaroo. The car, with me inside it landed in a ditch. If there had been a tree there... or a post... or another car... or...
There was a dead joey in the pouch too... kind of symbolic considering i call my car joey...

i'm getting a new car.

Comments:
Ok, first, I am really glad you are well after such a close call. You know I don't want anything bad to happen to you.

That said, I can't believe you hit a kangaroo. If you could see the story from the perspective of an American, you wouldn't believe it either. We hit deer and cows, sometimes, and of course raccoons and opossums, maybe even a cat or dog, but I have never had a friend tell me they hit a kangaroo ....until now.

What will you call your next car?
 
so glad you are ok. also assume this is why you were "busy".

I'm also sorry to hear about Joey I and Joey II.

I also hope you called all the important people and told them how important they are.
 
Oh honey! I'm glad you are ok!
xxox
 
*giggles* bry... is an opossum the same thing as a possum? Have you ever seen the mighty boosh?

Any suggestions for my new cars name... once i get it? Maybe I should post a picture of it once I get it and you can tell me what it looks like?

Who is the middle comment from? Is that Sarah? Or Rob?

And shell, i wanna come see you once i'm done with a lot of this school stuff... anytime good for you?
 
Honey, any time is good for me, I'll make it work. :D
