Well, this is now the third time, and a pattern has been recognized.

I think my mind is now officially younger than my body. What do I mean by this? Well let me explain:

Last Fall, I was visiting my family in Saudi Arabia when my cousin, who was so excited to see me, decided to give me a bear hug – lifting me off my feet. At that moment, I felt my rib crack, and I screamed with pain. That was the first of three, and the pain lasted at least a month.

A few months later, I was out playing squash with a friend. I decided to extend my body to hit this low traveling, almost bounceless shot – typical of most squash shots – and that’s when the second painful and youthless moment presented itself. The pain lasted about 3 weeks.

Lastly, I was out rock climbing with another friend. It was my second climb after 4 years of dormancy. I had always been guilty of using my arms to pull myself up rather than using my legs to push. I reached up high for one of the hand-holds, and pulled myself up like I always did. And that’s when the third, painful, pattern discovering moment made itself clear.

I suppose I should have realized this when my Wii told me that my Wii Fit age was 31.

Here’s to all you people that like to keep your cell phones on vibrate.

First of all, thank you for being kind enough to realize that we don’t all want to hear your phone ringing at work. However, secondly, please realize that leaving your plasticy resonating phone on your desk and letting it ring over and over again is equally if not more obnoxious than your lousy choice in ring tones.

Finally, if you are the call-er and your party hasn’t answered after 10 rings then know that you are probably driving someone nuts.
