the hilarity of my day

My day started awesome, time with Erica, Linkin, check in with some teammates at the office, decorated a wall in the conference room and then it got interesting...

So here's the story. I've been wanting a dune buggy since I was about 2 years old. The deal was I wouldn't have 2 cars so it would have to be something that I could really use as a daily driver (hense the do it or don't do it question. Found one I really like and a friend and I had planned to go yesterday to look at it. It has been raining here for like a week (20" in last 3 days). We went down today on our lunch break. So we get to the guys house (down by six flags), ring the door bell and he says he'll open the garage to come in that way. So, I peaked around the corner at the garage and the door was open. So I duck my head (remember downpour like niagra), and the "non-electric-garage-door" decides it's time to just go back down. I hit the metal garage door, right on the hollow metal handle. I won the fight against the door (huge dent), but lost the battle with the handle (9 staples and 1 stitch). It totally closelined me by the head and knocked me on my butt.

So we tried to drive back to northside hospital... we had to drive about 30mph because we can only see 10' in front of us (rain). And finally traffic stops on 285 so we jump off and take backroads (now called minor rivers).

I normally am prone to car-sickness so the traffic, rain, fact that I had not eaten lunch and it's now 2:30 with blood streaming down my face is not helping my nausea. We finally get to the hospital and they treat mepretty well.

Big props to the truest of friends Mr. Statham!

So I get home, back to my computer (did I mention we're launching a huge site today)?????

10 minutes later Erica walks down stairs and I hear, "ow no."

Have I mentioned it's raining? Yea, not too bad, I know a lot of peeps in ATL are a lot worse off than we are, but still carried out about 30 gallons of water.

I might pass out now. Night all and thanks for your friendship, prayers, thoughts and humor.

Please excuse any typos or bad grammar, this was typed via my head wound.
