"A piper is down...We've got a piper down!"

Well, just as I was starting to get my game back to where it was years ago, I suffered a setback at soccer practice last night - a pulled quad muscle. It's a bit painful and I'm limping a bit today. I must be getting old.

Is there a sports therapist in the house? Does anyone know how to treat a pulled quad muscle?

what a bummer to have 'free time' and yet get a pulled muscle. well, at least some of the 'goals' you listed for the next six weeks won't require you to be on your feet too much.

the last time i was bed-ridden was years ago, and i think i whils away the time reading classic literature; you see i didn't learn to read until i was in my teen years, and, so, for jr high school reading assignments, i often just skimmed the chapters (heck, i had no shame in owning cliff notes [study guides]!).

just curious, if peter jennings is not 100% objective in his reporting (i'm not saying that he is, or that any reporter is 100% objective for that matter), then who would you consider come close to 100% objective reporting?

NAM - Yeah, it sucks dude. And hey, nothing wrong with cliff notes! Used them a few times in College myself. Replied to the Peter Jennings thing on yer blog earlier...

DL - Whoa! Nobody is giving me any shots. I hate needles. Thanks for the info, i'm going to try icing it down tonight and see how it feels. I will of course not practice tomorrow and perhaps not even next Tuesday if it still hurts. I'd rather wait and let it heal completely. But I need to get back on the field, I miss playing already...
