My doctor thinks I might have a stress fracture. Fancy that. He said I should do low impact exercise until it heals, like swimming or bike riding. Yeah. Like that's gonna happen. I got a bike a couple of years ago and rode it exactly two times. It's too big for me. My hands are too little to brake without cramping up and my feet can't touch the ground when I stop for a red light. And Kyle bought me this super gay bike helmet I refuse to wear. Sheesh. I should have just stayed sedentary.

Trust me...NO ONE looks cool in a bike helmet. I usually wear mine though, anyway. As long as you're on a bicycle, it's OK to look "super gay."

Welll....MOST of the time I suck it up and wear my helmet. I have to admit, there has been a time or two in certain company or in the company of cameras that I have removed mine.

I've got a similar story involving roller hockey when I was a kid. I went through this time period where I did wear a helmet—and they looked as bad as bike helmets back then. We didn't make it a practice to usually wear them, but once in a while if our parent's got us one for Christmas or something, we'd wear it a bit. Well, that's exactly what happened with me, and it was post Christmas and I was going through this phase where I wore it virtually all the time. I actually kind of liked the safety benefits, you know? But one day during this time period, we were doing our thing and some girls from school walked by. This is 7th or 8th grade here. And I didn't have the guts to look that uncool in front of the girls. So I quickly doffed it and probably whipped it towards the bench from wherever I was standing and continued my business. They passed through and went on their way, but I didn't put the helmet back on for fear that more girls from school might walk by and see me wearing it. A little while later, I was victim to a strong check and...BAM! I went down hard and smacked by unprotected head down on the tennis court (which was really a hockey court). It hurt and I got a big lump. I didn't routinely get head injuries or anything, so there is something Murphy's Law-ish about how I did so during the era when I wore the helmet, but on the one day where I took it off.
