spears and rubberbands

snippet: I'm on a journey. I've stepped on something hard. It is sticking out of the bottom of my left foot, on the medial front side of the heal. At first it is too deep to reach and I walk on it with pain. But with time it begins to emerge. I pull it out, it is a 4 inch long agave spear.

snippet 2: I'm riding my bike up a long paved hill. I ride past my son and a group of his friends. I hope they don't see me. I don't want to stop. When I get beyond them I hear them calling after me. And then I see that my tires are all wound up in a rubber band and I can't ride any farther. I have to stop.

snippet 3: I've been postering at the University. Putting up Yoga posters. I put one in the earth science library. They are getting ready for a big talk. Heidi calls and wants to go for a walk. I am wearing the wrong shoes, so I can't do that.
