Howdy!

At the moment, my feet are NOT on the ground because I sprained
both my ankles Saturday night in the most unglamorous
trip-and-fall over a door sill you've ever seen.

I stand at 5-5 but I have a 31" inseam, so I *think* that makes me
have long legs for my height.  The seat is original.  :)
