Yesterday, I was asked if I would like to play on the company softball team. I declined (and without really thinking about it) said, "I'm afraid of getting hurt."
Pull a groin, twist an ankle, heart attack... Gawd knows, but if it causes me to miss a single race weeked, I'd be pissed! See, ironic.
I play on our church softball team. We have had a few guys pull their groins. A guy here or there on other teams. It's been good fun, I'm glad I am able to play. I didn't think I would make many games or practices due to my work schedule. We have been slow so I have made every game so far and all but 1 practice.
Actually...what would be really Ironic is if you twist your ankle walking to the fridge from your recliner!
It stood out on the back of your RV Saturday morning. Plus you knew the little shortcut to the track that no one else knows about. (We were in the black Jeep Grand Cherokee).
I do remember the Black JGC. Pshew! Glad you didn't see us parked at the 'Four Seasons' 10 minutes ealier.
We all have our issues. I loved doing aerobatic maneuvers in airplanes but I could stand for an hour on a 10-foot diving board trying to find a valid reason to jump into the pool. Steve, can you try the horizontal spread on the signature? You might be to first casualty of the second amendment to the rules. Check out Bad Dog's signature block. He used to have the same problem. Fixed it nicely.
Softball is a dangerous sport. Last summer I got nailed in the left eye/temple by a relay throw to third base. It knocked me out for a few seconds, gave me a concussion, and nearly a broken orbital. The worst part was the swelling. I couldn't get my helmet on for four days afterwards. I had a serious concern that I wouldn't be able to attend my track day two weeks following. Hell, right now I'm looking at my ankle and heel that are black and blue after being hit by a line drive.
What do you think I am, I computer programmer... Sheesh?! I'll have to figure out what you're describing, but until then... NO SIGNATURE FOR ME!
Ok, you missed the humor... I am a computer programmer, website designer, and other crap about software development that nobody cares about. But, fixed none-the-less. Papa, please QA signature version 1.01.0001
:up: you could understand my obvious confusion; I didn't think programmers were capable of being funny.
I crashed my motorcycle at California Speedway, two thanksgivings ago, taking a nice tumble in the cement runoff that they have and ended up with only a slightly swolen knee and never missed a day of work. Two months later I"m laid up in bed with a broken foot from a game of pick-up basketball with my coworkers. Add that to the sprained ankle exactly one year prior to my opposite foot and broken finger. Needless to say I stay away from rebounding but have increased my track days.
