I fell down and stubbed my toe, called for the doctor, Cotton-Eyed Joe

I went to dance to Rogers Hall in Lyons last night to dance to Bad Monkey: Frank Lee and Andrea Earley, joined by Pat Carbone and Ellen Rosenberg. Chris Kermiet was calling.

At some point in the evening, someone gave my foot a patsh. I was dancing barefoot, but I always do. By the time I got home, the toe was purple as can be, with the discoloration creeping up between the toes. Broken.

This morning, I strapped it to the toe next to it, and called for the doctor -- Jim Flanagan, on my cell phone -- who endorsed the advice I got from a doctor when I broke a toe in college: "Don't break it again."
