Major League Baseball Opening Day

[Cynical Ninja]

I used to play Rugby, I have the aches and pains to prove it.

You enter into a game of Rugby knowing that at some point a man probably a lot bigger and heavier than you is going to be stamping on your face and genitals with his studs.

My husband played for years (and yeah, he's got the aches and pains and a nose that isn't quite straight to prove it). I liked watching him play. It's really hard to watch my son. He got hit hard enough a few weeks ago to knock the wind out of him and leave him with a wicked sore neck (he got folded up in the tackle). He's one of the smallest kids on the team too. *sigh* Family tradition though. My FIL played for UCLA, husband played for 20+ years blah blah.

My son's a skater too (I have a half-pipe and rail in my garage to prove that). I told him that someone I "knew" online was a professional skater from the U.K. He immediately threw out a name (Jeff something, I think) and I had to break it to him that I didn't think you were still skating professionally. My son wants to get "sponsored" although we haven't made much effort in that regard yet.

Well, that was quite the fucking novel. Anything to avoid laundry and errands.

Ah your son is a skater!

What kind of skater is he?, I was a mini ramp and transitional skater.

I used to play rugby at a local club level, until one day I had an epiphany and decided I was getting sick of waking up the next morning unable to walk or stand up straight. It started to interfere with my skateboarding as well.

There might be some stuff online about my skating, I didn't skate under my real name, I will have a look later. I skated before the internet was popular.
