For the easily squeamish, I'll be sure just to provide a link to the image. OK, it's not THAT bad, but it freaks me out. I should do it tonight while I still have this lovely black eye, but I'm sure it'll still be there tomorrow night. . . Yeah, we’ll get that picture up here eventually.

I do believe, though, that this morning at work, the situation did require a variation of something that Berke Breathed so gloriously gave us back in the 1980's: The Big Lie. (Hey, it's always been more useful than "The Big Casualness" or "The Big Spat".) Sorry to hear about your face.

Hopefully you don't sleep with the Two-Face side touching the pillow. Also, this post requires a photo. Especially considering you spent months tellings us all about the research that went into the purchase of that newfangled camera that you ended up getting! Ouch - that’s got to be painful!

I was once babysitting an ex's 6 year old niece, she was playing on a hard-rubber swing held by a kind of elastic rope to a tree. As she was swinging, her hair scrunchy flew off. So I bent down to get it for her, just as she decided to LEAP OFF THE SWING to get it herself. Elastic rope + hard-rubber seat = fast, sudden bounce-back of seat, right into my eye. Black eye. Really swollen. I looked positively Cro-Magnon, and stayed that way for a LONG time. The worst was not having a great story to go with the black eye. No bar fights, no UFC tryouts, no alpha-male, y-chromosome, testosterone-charged heroic epic to go with it. Nope, a 6 year old jumped off her swingset. Wowie... Enjoy your storytelling for the next week =) Augie,
