Since tonight’s guest is Michael Strahan I think that it’s fair to point out at this juncture that being Thursday, the end of the week for 2 thirds of the shows I cover, pickings are pretty slim and Stephen will be delayed for Throwball. With any luck at all I’ll be napping.

My funny story is that in Junior High I was all hot and sweaty for it. In retrospect I had no clue about the level of physical and time commitment it required and I was useless anyway with no talent at all except as a potential Linebacker for which I was too slight and slow (I also had bad knees, but that’s another tale). I had killer instinct though.

Mom said NO! However much I begged and pleaded the answer was the same. So swim team and band for me, my Nephew made it all the way to High School Varsity and his verdict today is that it wasn’t all that and mostly an enormous pain in the ass. Then again he has tattoos and I’ve never even been tempted.

I hope he’s not brain damaged since we know now that’s a common side effect of participation in Throwball at any level and endemic in the Pro game, but with young people it’s hard to tell.

On the other hand I just took one of those surveys you have to do when you have doctors and a question was, “Have you ever suffered a concussion?” Umm… didn’t I just tell you about my car accident with the rods and pins and plates and the little note I have to carry to even get through the metal detector at the courthouse for jury duty? When I woke up I was already strapped to the board being scooted out of where my back window used to be. Probably.

But I forgot this other one. I was skiing and had a blowout, I’m told it was spectacular. I uhh… reoriented face down off the trail with a birch at my left shoulder and a boulder at my right.

So I shook off the snow, found my skis, and spent the rest of the day doing exactly what I had been.

Problem? What Problem? For that matter what were we talking about again? I misremember.

Yawn. It was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. If you want a battle of wits my advice is develop an immunity to Iocane.
