At preschool yesterday, Stephen made this little Valentine's Day hat out of red and pink construction paper. It had two pipe cleaners with little red hearts taped on sticking up on either side, like those deely-bops that were so popular 15 years ago or so. Stephen's teacher said, "Stephen, why don't you try it on and look in the mirror and see how it looks." Stephen does just that and exclaims, "Sheesh! I guess this is the last time I'll be wearing that thing."Roots on the TV in my hospital room. What I remember most is the physical therapist joking about the cutting of the fotos during the manhood ritual. Anyway, I was in a hip to ankle cast bent at the knee for 8 weeks in the middle of winter. Like an idiot, I asked my doctor while my mother was in the room if I would be able to play football the next fall and he said I probably could but if I got hit the wrong way it could do permanent damage. Mom heard that and said no football for you. Of course, if it had happened today, I would have had arthroscopic surgery and been back in business no worse for the wear in a few weeks. C'est la vie.
