So you had a bad week... You were broadsided... You fell down the stairs... So you had a bad week.

I am in Long Island this week, visiting the Mothership, so ThumbSucker sent me a picture of Fionnbharr.

The Biting Thing on the stairs.















In other news... No this is not my car. It's 2Pay's. Or, it was 2Pay's. He purchased the nearly identical car one week after I got mine two years ago.

Today, ThumbSucker sent me a picture message from his Treo 700P (Sprint network). 2Pay was in a car accident.

ThumbSucker: 2Pay just got hit at Guerrero and 15th by a guy who ran a red light. His client who was in the car got rushed to hospital. What a week.

Not only that, but ThumbSucker's other friend -- who we'll call BellyDancer (because she can belly dance) -- fell down a flight of stairs, and broke her back. ThumbSucker brought her to SF General Hospital, then to Kaiser. There, doctors implanted an epidural IV... Into her back. Goodness. She is in an incredible amount of pain, the doctors setup a morphine drip. Every six minutes, BellyDancer presses a button, and the good stuff is released into her system.

That song, "So You Had a Bad Day" doesn't come close to ThumbSucker's week, or year for that matter.
