Weeeeeeee!!!!! Ouch…
Seems I had quite the active weekend. It’s obvious to me after-the-fact that I haven’t had such a workout in a long time because it’s two days later and my muscles are still killing me.
I met up on Saturday with Nathan at first to play a few friendly sets of tennis; which I kicked his ass in. After that, we threw the ol´ ball around for a few innings of baseball. Good fun, but it was then that I noticed my swinging arm felt a bit overexerted, yet I continued on like a champ. Nathan bested me (cheater) at that round, but once we hit the front nine holes of golf, he wasn’t laughing so hard; especially not at his triple bogey on one hole. Things turned pretty ugly as futile discussions about the other’s atrocious swing heated up, so we decided to settle it like real men: with boxing gloves. As I mentioned before, my arm was already beginning to ache, so I couldn’t punch very well and that’s how that David took down this Goliath.
Our friend Jacki stepped in for the challenge after I was schooled by Nate, and proceed to rip Nate a new a-hole in the boxing ring – TWICE. Of course, I took her to the tennis court as Nate convalesced and gave her an old school ass whooping, even with the bad arm. To end off the day, we headed to the bowling alley for 10 frames. Nate and I tried to get fancy with our ball throwing, and knocked down our fair share of pins; but it was Jacki’s slow and steady straight balls that won it. With a hundred n’ something something points, Jacki took home the day’s last trophy.
All of that swinging, running, jumping, yelling, catching, diving, kicking, spitting, cursing and hissy-fitting all took place in the comfort of Nate’s living room… thanks to the new Nintendo Wii. And as far as my ailing arm goes, it seems I’m not the only one. One of my student’s physical therapist brother-in-law is already treating patients for playing too hard with their Wii. And of course, now no home is safe from the Wii remote and the morons that don’t know how to hold onto the damn thing.
Anyone got some ice?
