Regardless of the aches, pains, black eye and stitches, I'm having a blast playing again!
I couldn't help but read these words as a double entendre...
How are the classes going so far? How did you students respond to your stitches? I remember being a kid and always being amazed to find those small indicators that teachers are just as human as we are...in some instances, it was a great thing to notice.
It never surprises me to find that we're thinking along the same lines - and I certainly take that as a compliment.
I'm already planning on rejoining a soccer team once my knee is working fully again...are you dealing with any naysayers, people like my father, who say that you just shouldn't play contact sports after 30? I hear it a lot...just kind of smile and feel all-the-more determined to play again...
