hey!
Still alive. All body parts intact.
Except for my knee. It’s minus vast quantities of skin. It’s hit a new level of grossness.
Really. If you were here, I’d show it to you.
Then I’d open my mouth and let you see what I was eating.
I’m good that way.
I am painstakingly handcrafting a commentary on my weekend in Maine. So please bear with me as I ensure it contains adequate levels of “awesome”.
Also, I am hoping to slot in a little bit of actual work. At my job. Because full-time employment is a good thing. And my mad hoboing skillz are woefully lacking. [Ed. Note: "Hoboing" = actual word!]
So please excuse the lack of extensive hilarity oozing out of this site at the present.
All my oozing capacity is currently focused on my knee.
To conclude… you all rock.
Yes. Even you. The one with the thing.
You know who you are.

That knee thing does not sound good. Hope you get better soon. I once went to Maine for a vacation. In December. I am sure your tales will be way more interesting and appealing than my visit in the middle of winter. Shoveling yourself out of the house through the kitchen window does not make for a wonderful vacation. Trust me on this one.

so did you catch it/get the d-block?

Go… Um, what’s your team’s name again?

sssssssshush about the thing……
….. it’s a secret

Oozing capacity. Not everyone understands that’s a way more significant metric than say, leaking.
Also, your Julius Caesarness? Scary. In case you didn’t already know.

so how’d you do? not YOU you, but the team.
And did you have to ride home or sleep with/next to/spooned by Mark?

Momish: You had me at “shovelling”.
Mabel: No. Sigh. It was double scraped on two different D attempts. I made contact on the second one at least.
Suldog: “HALIFAXIS OF EVIL”!
birchsprite: [Furtively looks left, then right. Sneaks away in opposite direction.]
RJ: Ooooo… “Caesarness”. That’s going on my resume.
Mike: The team went 2-4 in pool play, but still made it to semis… where we lost to frigging Spawn. And there was a definite lack of spooning. Which is a good thing.

“HALIFAXIS OF EVIL”
Hah! Well, surely you must have taken the “Best Team Name” trophy, if nothing else.

I feel your pain. My worst knee scrape last summer came in a I’m-going-to-psych-my-team-up- and-show-them-how-to-lay-out play at the beginning of the game-to-go at sectionals.
Long cross-field huck to the break-force side to the guy I’m defending against. What a beautiful throw, if I do admit it; barely in my opponent’s reach and barely out of mine. We’re both in full sprint but he’s got about 3′ on me being that it was to the break force side. It’s coming into his bread-basket, and I decide I’m going to lay out for it knowing there’s about a 4.3% +/- 1.2% chance of nabbing it. So in full sprint, I went horizontal at about 3.5 feet in the air (at least that’s how I remember it).
Did I get the D? No.
Did I land in middle of the least grassy piece of dirt on the the pitch? Abso-smurfly.

Mabel….. that sounds very painful….no idea what it all means…..but ow anyway!
