I am immune to all this heat that’s got everyone in a tizzy, so it’s not that that’s got me feeling so blue. Rather, I injured my foot on a routine five-mile run Tuesday night. At first I thought it was just a cramp. But when I tried to go for a run again last night, what became evident is that it’s something more serious. Last year I suffered a bone fracture in a right metatarsal, which kept me off my foot for six depressing, long weeks. And I’m afraid I’ve injured that exact same fragile, little bone again. Please understand how tragic this is for the hyperactive lady with a desk job. Grrrr.
And there’s something else to get pissed-off about: South Dakota and all its dude-politicians who want to take away a woman’s right to an abortion, even if she happens to be a victim of rape, incest, or physically debilitating disease. (And I’ll ask for your understanding yet again because, for a grown-up Catholic girl, this issue is not an easy one…) But a group of local writers, performers, and comics are doing something about it by staging a “Comedy for Choice” at the Woman’s Club Theater tonight. The lineup includes Kevin Kling, Amy Salloway. Visit Pro-choice Minnesota for details.
