This afternoon turned out to be a lovely day for our rec league soccer game. We faced off against a really fun team and were having a grand ol’ time…until…
A ball got caught in the wind and landed smack in my left eye. SPLAT! It didn’t hit me hard enough to do too much damage, so I blinked to shake it off, but then couldn’t see anything at all! I don’t know if it was the impact to my eye or all the sand (this particular field could’ve been mistaken for a beach), but I couldn’t see a flippin’ thing! I tottered, I reeled, I fell face down. It was fantastic–nothing like that has ever happened to me before. I rolled over and while I could hear my concerned fellow players, I couldn’t see them for several seconds. Finally, my vision cleared and I got to my feet to play on, but damn, I wish I had the tottering and reeling on video!
Play on, freaks, play on!
