we went surfing on the 4th of july. it ruled. surfing is more fun than i realized. “it’s kind of ridiculous how much fun this is,” i was thinking to myself the split second before my board somehow went careening into my thigh, giving me the worst charlie horse of my life, a lump that changed the topography of my leg for about four days, and a bruise that refuses to not be purple.

for a time i thought that i broke my femur. and then when i realized i hadn’t, i reckoned that if this is the pain that happens when i don’t break my femur, i don’t want to feel what actually breaking it feels like.

of course, the photo:

take that, collins.
