Ok, I admit it...

I'm getting old.  It all started this weekend when we were at the beach.  I know that I complained about my feet hurting from running on the sand, but I'm serious they really hurt.  To top of having the bottoms of my feet be sore, enter Monday evening.  In all of my years of playing sports, it takes being 27 and playing slow pitch softball for the "injuries" to come.  I came this close to blowing out my groin on Monday night.  Maybe it's because it was cold (62 degrees) or maybe I didn't get loose enough (I stretched for about 20 minutes straight before the game), whatever it was it was pretty painful.  I attempted to play second base and almost fell over when I went to move after the pitch.  (For those of you that don't know, you are supposed to MOVE on every pitch...  SOMEWHERE!  Even if it is 2 steps in.  BE READY TO MAKE THE PLAY!  It's ok if you don't understand, neither does my baseball team and I tell them about 20 times a game.)  Luckily I believe it was only a strain.  If I would have pulled it, and if you know me you know this is true, there is about a 50% chance that I would have cried right their on the field.  Thank God that everyone didn't have to experience that.

In other semi-important news, Bin Laden is dead!  After almost 10 years, we got him.  God Bless all of the soldiers that have fought for this day to come for a while.  Thank you to my cousin who is currently serving this country and to all of my friends that have served in the past and the ones still currently serving, you make this country great.  Thank you.  I'll never forget 9-11.  I'll never forget where I was that morning.  I can remember vividly sitting in the quad of Frederick Hall and watching the news all day.  I can remember trying to call my family and not being able to make a call.  The terror that that man has put into this great country will hopefully begin to go away.  It won't go away over night, but hopefully things will begin to get better.  I won't go on and on here because everyone knows the significance of what has happened and I'm just a PE teacher, I know less than you do probably.  We got our man though.  Everyone that has been yelling about the war, we got our man.  Before I go, watch and never forget...
