i have some photos i’ve taken over the last couple of months that i’ll throw up here when i get some free time. went for a late ride last night and wound up on the bridge downtown taking some photos over the river. fun times – check back soon!

the older i get, the faster it goes. evenings vanish, weeks fly by, months are here and then not.. crazy.

so during the “good” weather months (read: not freezing cold) a few friends and i have an outdoor basketball group that gets together about once or twice a week in the evenings to play ball. there’s only about 4-6 regulars that show up, but we usually grab a few random pickups and run 3s or 4s. last wednesday, i jammed my ring finger pretty good. on friday, i rejammed it along with my middle finger, and thought it was going to be a “bad” night for injuries based on that along, until i landed on a friend’s foot and twisted my ankle all to pieces.

i snapped a pic on my phone that night:

..and another one today at work (notice the sweet cankle action):

my foot really hurts
would someone get me a drink?
fear my man cankle.

good stuff, eh?

it hurt really bad that night, a little less the next day, then sunday it basically stopped hurting but was “tingly” all day (although i mostly stayed off of it). i fought a fever all weekend that i would guess was just part of my body’s reaction to the injury. today at work i did a substantial amount of “hobbling” and it actually started to ache as the day wore on – but i think it’s getting better. time heals all wounds, or at least i keep telling myself that. some of the wounds i’ve gotten in the last month will take a lot longer than a weekend to heal, but i have faith that with time the pain will fade. thanks to all my friends who have offered their support.

still learning the new camera, but sure having fun doing it! if you aren’t familiar with flickr, one feature i’d like to point out when you click on the image is that just above the image on the page it takes you to, you’ll see an “all sizes” link next to a magnifying glass. try clicking on that to see higher resolution versions.
