It's all IN THE KNEES


I bought this photo for a friend for her birthday. Her father was from the Ukraine; a handsome man who was once a Cossack in the tsar's army.

While living in L.A. my friend and I went to a dance performance of a Ukrainian dance troupe. My knees hurt just watching them.



Of course these days my knees hurt all the time. I might be facing some knee surgery to fix damage done, most likely, long ago when I skied every weekend. One too many falls with my knee twisting in the wrong direction. Eventually your past catches up with you.

  1. My entire leg hurts just watching the video!

    Irish step dancing would be equally hard!

    1. Indeed, that body stiffness above the waist would be tough.

  2. Leaping Lizards, that a lot of jumping beans!

    1. Indeed! I've always wanted to see actual jumping beans.
