KIDZ AND KARDZ
my boss shawn was out for a motorcycle ride this past sunday with some friends. upon his return to the city, he decided to take the scenic route around the bays. this is where he goes into guess mode because he can't quite remember what happened next. all he knows is that something happened and then he woke up in the hospital.
his best guess is that a car came around the corner a bit into his lane and when he went to readjust to miss the car, he lost control and slammed into the concrete wall.
jason and i went to visit him tonight after work. he is in stable condition but he did require surgery to sort out some compressed vertebrae. the doctor said it was a clean procedure, fairly textbook, which is always nice to hear.
boy was he hopped up too! he was clutching that morphine drip button like nobody's business. he mentioned that he felt bloated and i said "nah, you're probably just full of morphine, thats all".
on his card that we had organized at work, i had written something to the effect and keep in mind, i wrote this down the middle crease of the card:
"shawn, jason tells me you asked him to scratch your balls, well, i'm only willing to sign your crack. heal fast and heal quick"
little did i know his daughters would be reading the card. talk about back peddling....how did i know his daughters were gonna read the card? much laughter ensued and i learned yet another lesson ... the hard way.
