It did

You know how sometimes people say "Ooooo, That's going to leave a mark." Well sometimes they're right. Yesterday at lunchtime soccer I was fully stretched and was playing real well. I had my head up with the ball and was solid on defence. So solid I got my knee in the way of a shot...

Kind of a neat tattoo eh? You can almost see the stitching from the ball. After hitting me I chased after the ricochet and didn't think much of it, but when I got home and was stretching I noticed I had a souvenir.

When will I learn I'm not a kid anymore? Playing with guys good enough to be on the Madison 56er's would be challenge enough if I was their age. Still, at least I don't creak when I move.

Preparations have begun for commencement ceremonies at the Kohl Center on Sunday. At roughly 9:30am Karen will be taking the walk across the stage to receive her Ph.D. in History of Science. It took her the better part of 17 years to complete her work, but in her defense she had me and Sephie slowing her down for the last 9 years.
