this would be one of the times i wish this was in the pit rather than here. oh well, y’ll can just imagine the cusses coming out of my mouth. I gotta get ready for another biz trip (so much for having a month off) so I’ll have to pass on this evening. ---

Last night I sorta, well, blew out my knee. It’s all misshapened, swollen and completely non-load bearing. I’m trying to convince **Houseman** and **Zoltarb** to go to the dinner without me. They are figuring out a way to carry me down the stairs. I really don’t know if I’m going to make the dinner. This sucks. ---

I just got a call from a friend who flew in to town last night and wants to get together ~ there’s a good chance I won’t be attending No Idea tonight after all. ☹ I guess I’ll see how the night progresses… ---

You do realize I live on the top floor of a 4 story walk-up, Ike. I’m actually thinking about the ER. This really sucks. ---

From the short description above, it sounds like you probably SHOULD get over to the ER. If this was just one of your “spells,” I woulda rounded up some of the other big beefy Brooklyn Dopers, packed a bottle of smelling salts, and we could have carried you in on a sedan chair. ---

Sorry you couldn’t make it, **Biggirl**. It was fun, of course, but not nearly as much fun without you. ☹ Feel better soon, hon. ---

I was _wondering_ where you were! I’m sorry I didn’t get to meet you, but it’s not like I live in East Bumblefuck or anything - maybe I’ll see you at a Doper dinner or something. Live in hope! 🙂 Feel better!! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nyc-megadopefest-schedule-jan-2-5-2003-please-check-in/144281.md?page=10)
