    Not as young as I used to be!!

    So...I am about to turn 29 and up until now I haven't had any serious injuries!  Yes 7 years of playing soccer 5 years of coaching, and a lifetime of playing softball, football, basketball, tennis and just doing all kinds of contact sports and nothing serious.  Which I guess you could say is a blessing...but you would think that doing a simple little soccer trick that I have done so many times without any problems wouldn't be the end to my perfect injury free life.  However I am pushing 30 and I guess the old bones and lack of conditioning has caught up with me.  Friday night I was playing with Payton and I was doing a little flip with the ball, keep in mind the ball was a little under inflated and I was in the living room.  Well I somehow managed to roll my ankle and break my foot.  Apparently there is a very strong ligament attatched to the outside of your foot that when your ankle rolls it puts pressure on the bone and can break it.  So I am now on crutches and in an aircast for the next three weeks:(  I am completely helpless...Do you know how frustrating it is to not be able to carry a glass of water from the kitchen to the living room.  Anyway that is about all that is happening here I am a cripple for at least the next three weeks.

    I watched some of the last 3 Boston-Cleveland games... usually the ALCS and NLCS catch my attention. The other 160 MLB games? Not so much. And I hope you're cheering for the Rockies...
