## Hi everyone --

  
It's been a minute. On Tuesday morning I tripped and fell in my apartment. I broke my left humorous bone, (upper arm), and cracked my left hip. Fun, right? I'll be in the hospital for a few days, and then probably a few weeks in a rehab facility. Meanwhile, I'm sure that part of healing will be discovering yet more dimensions of the disability experience.

For the next few weeks, weekday posting may be a bit spotty. On the other hand, doing this newsletter is probably going to be one of the more pleasant activities available to me. So by all means, stay subscribed and keep reading!
