Colds and Bruises

Last weekend's allergies turned into a battle against a cold plus the same allergies of this week. Based on my estimations, I have recirculated airplane air to thank. There's nothing like allergic congestion with the aches of a cold. To take my mind off the cold, I treated myself to a nice charley horse courtesy of flag football. It was towards the end of what felt like two pointless 20-minute 'halves' where I found myself defending a pass headed in my direction. The next thing I know bodies were flying everywhere and some dude plowed into my left thigh. The guy hit the ground for a few seconds while I let out a 'whooo!' It looked like I got the best of that. Then the pain hit. Walking has been a challenge ever since. Fun.

On the way home tonight, some high school kids were talking about the night's plans. A kid was complaining that he was going to be the only boy at tonight's party. His two female friends shot back with an explanation that he should be hanging out and that Friday night is supposed to be "date night" where you're obligated to hang out with the opposite sex. I had to laugh because I don't think I've been in either situation since high school.

Now: for some fun links I copped from the new, new WWB:
