So much for skating anytime soon. I possibly have a tear in a ligament or the meniscus in my knee. I’ll know more for sure after an MRI and a follow up in six weeks. I am very very sad about this and have decided that the only thing that will help is if people send pictures of their cute animals. Bunnies, cats, puppies, fish. Whatever. I’ll accept babies as well. It would help even more if the cute animal/baby in question were perhaps holding a sign of encouragement. Am I asking too much? Maybe. But maybe so was Kennedy when he wanted the US to go to the moon.

Hi! Welcome to my pity party! Do you want to hear all about how my knee still hurts and I’m not skating? Do you? No? How about I tell you the one about how my knee pain is making me cranky? Hmm, you heard that one already? What? Twice? Damn. I bet you’ll want to pat my head and say “poor baby” when I tell you about the hell that is trying to make an appointment with Kaiser for an orthopedic specialist? Well, yes, its similar to my plight in getting regularly scheduled pelvic exams, but you know, with a different, more PG rated body part.
Oh, you’ve just remembered you left your stove on? Well, okay. But please leave the beer. And I’ll be sure to call you to tell you how my meeting with a new financial adviser goes tomorrow… yes, its about all the tax I paid… Why are you running?
(I’m fine really, this week is just testing me and doesn’t seem to be letting up.)

Well hello there!
I haven’t had much to say since the knee incident. I’m healing up, although I got a little over-excited about how mobile I’ve become at the bout on Saturday and spent most of Sunday with my leg pearched delicately on a pillow. I am not trying out tomorrow. I am, deep down, okay with this. I could use the extra practice and have talked to one of the vets about some private training once I’m back to normal. In the meantime, I’ll be chilling with the Enforcers, the LADD reffing crew, hopefully kickin’ ass and takin’ stats.
To make up for the lack of content, please enjoy a photo from October. We got up at ass-crack o’clock one morning to head out to Topenga to try and get some photos of surfers at sunrise. I did get a few, but I really loved this sign across the street from the beach. Click the pic for a link to the set.

I, um, sprained my ankle and knee. Doing a t-stop. At a slow speed.
2-4 weeks of rest. That puts me back on skates past April 15th sub-pool tryouts.
Fuck.
