Shhhh... This is a secret boo boo. Okay, so it isn't a secret, but it is one that no one knows about (yet). When it happened last night, I didn't complain too much. Just for a few seconds. And there was only one witness. With whom, of course, I discussed the offending boo boo with for those few seconds.
As I mentioned in my last blog entry my band Revolution Pie had a gig last night. We were playing at a little park in the center of Chagrin Falls. A pleasant little burg on the east side of Cleveland.
While setting up my equipment, I was walking across a grassy area when my right foot found a rather large hole, hidden by the freshly shorn and evenly leveled grass. This camouflaged crater was about 8 inches deep and was about 8 inches across. Yet grass was growing up in it from the sides which helped to hide it.
Of course, my foot went to the bottom and my ankle twisted. Ouch!
I was carrying something heavy, which didn't help.
So today, the day after the incident, my Boo Boo De Jour is a slightly sore ankle. Just a twinge of a sprain I am sure. But still, certainly a qualifying event.
Ouch!
Big weekend coming up... I am sure I will have more than a few things to write about on Monday. Thanks for visiting!

So last night I was changing my strings on one of my guitars to get ready for a gig tonight. I was using a LeatherMan (a multi-tool with needlenose pliers and all kinds of knives and blades in the handle) to cut the old strings off and trim the tops of the new strings. Somehow, one of the blades came out and cut the tip of my right index finger. It bled pretty bad. I just sucked on it... no bandaid... but it hurt. Today it feels better.

Okay... so I am a clutz. I was over at my wonderful girlfriend's house for a visit. We had our workout bags from the gym that we had just brought in from the car. She asked me where hers was and I said I would get it. I had bare feet.
I walked out of the bedroom and into the dining room past the table. The chairs are made of a bent chrome tube that forms the legs.
While walking by, one of the chairs LEPT out in front of me and attacked the little toe on my left foot... bending it severely backwards. I immediately fell to the floor spouting explatives. Ouch! Was it broken? It sure felt like it. It was very painful to bend if I could at all. A few days later, it was purple and red and swollen but apparently not broken. Ouch!
