Driving to the gym yesterday before our Mother's Day brunch back home in Pittsburgh, we were hit by a falling tree while passing St. Vincent Cathedral.

DoublecarPolo doesn't sound so unsafe any more! But as far as I'm concerned, my polo accident, a multiple-ton tree falling on my car, these moments tell me something: I'm a lucky guy! They could have been MUCH worse!

You can try to walk through life carefully, making calculated risks and hedging your bets -- and then life comes and throws a 200-foot pine tree at you. So why not just go at it full throttle?

Wow. Glad you're all right. And it is indeed a good reminder that safety is an illusion, so why not take a few risks?

That reminds me--how's the shoulder doing?

Cheers,

The same thing happened to me! A random act of tree happened upon my Jetta one evening at my sorority house, taking the power lines down with it. But, no one was caught under it, and hey, now we have something in common!
