But one situation hit me profoundly - a mother riding her bike with her 2-3 year old daughter in the bike seat behind her. Neither wearing helmets! I almost stopped to discuss this with them... When I was three years old, my mom and I were in that same configuration when we slipped and hit the pavement. She was wearing a helmet, but mine was on order (and came in the next week). I was knocked unconscious. Thankfully I am here today to tell the tale with no long-term effects from the crash.

From that point on, there has always been a helmet on my head when it needed to be, and that has saved me several times.]]> http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=239 Sun, 04 May 2008 19:33:44 EDT http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=238 - from the book Marley & Me by John Grogan]]> http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=238 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:54:29 EDT http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=237 http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=237 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 09:17:33 EST http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=236
In happier news, my new skates are on order. (I had to return the other pair.)]]> http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=236 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:16:03 EST http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=235 http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=235 Wed, 09 Jan 2008 15:31:45 EST http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=234
For all you non-meteo folk, that means that it is flurrying here. :) ]]> http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=234 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 11:35:02 EST http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=233 http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=233 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 23:58:17 EST http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=232 http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=232 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 22:02:08 EST http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=231 http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=231 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:43:02 EST http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=230 http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=230 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:58:49 EDT http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=229 http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=229 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 19:48:03 EDT http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=228 http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=228 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 22:19:00 EDT http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=227 http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=227 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 20:13:11 EDT http://elise.freedville.com/weblog/EliseFreedBlog.php?ID=226
