Embarrassing Injury

Just a brief post...

When I was 15, I twisted my ankle while running to the bus, after slipping on a patch of ice. This was 2 days before the regional volleyball championships, and I was in a brace and with crutches for the tournament. I thought that was the most embarrassing injury ever (coaches asking while I was sidelined, and expecting to hear that my injury was volleyball related) ... until tornight...

Went to a pub on Yonge and Lawrence for a birthday get together...turns out, we had to share the pub with a group of "Singles meeting in Toronto" people. No offense, but damn....glad I saw that train wreck from a peripheral view 'cause I would NEVER go to one of those get togethers. Mean age = 53(+/-7yr). And not exactly the most socially-capable people.

And as we were sitting on the sideline and mocking the songs requested (picture THAT playlist)....

Kenny Loggins comes on. Footloose soundtrack. Someone stood up and was wondering what Kenvin Bacon's steps were to the song. I stood up to illustrate, and unfotunately re-discovered my MCL injury. I will walk with a limp for the nexxt 2 weeks.

Why?

Because I was trying to imitate Kevin Bacon in Footloose.

And I probaboly can't play volleyball for 2 weeks. Saddest injury ever.
