Uh-oh. Dancing Mandolin Player has broken her ankle. I hope she doesn’t mind my spreading the news, but since she is immobile for the next six weeks I figured she would most likely appreciate sympathy and emails.

Especially when she is “resting” in the middle of a construction zone. Her house is undergoing a major remodel right now–she has no kitchen–and life is not exactly, uh, peaceful.

I’ve recommended noise-cancelling headphones and a cooler filled with protein drinks and chocolate.
Some of you may have other suggestions.

On the bright side, Dancing Mandolin Player will have hours and hours to practice the new band songs on her mandolin.
Start blogging.
Organize photographs, sort through slides.
Learn to play the ukelele.
Skype with her grandchildren.
Catch up on her reading.
Get creative with arm weights.
Memorize all the words to “Tennessee Stud”.

Please, please, please, DMP. Stay off your feet!!!!!!

And feel better soon.
