Every day and in every way, I'm getting better and better. Like you all, I guess I half expected some major damage to manifest within 24 hours of my accident, but I'm feeling ever better. I realize now that keys to my survival were that the bus was starting around a corner from a stand-still, and that it probably only moved four feet from the first impact to the last. No, no, don't get me wrong--still considering myself very very lucky!

As for the chicken, it wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good, and I'd never cooked with fresh thyme before--that stuff is gorgeous!
