Reminiscent of the bad omens (lights stopped working, thunderstorms) that led to the
server failure a few months ago, I should have heeded the ones this past week. Last week while playing at the North Edmonton badminton club, I was owned by a 7 year old and in the process lost my pants (by lost I mean left...). And yesterday playing little over 5 minutes at the club, I tripped over a player and badly sprained my ankle. Although the xrays show no broken bones, it was sprained bad enough that I have gotten crutches to help me get around.
It is my first time using crutches and they can be quite a work out as I've found out today while making my way from the LRT to Lister Hall for the
TEC Edmonton event. And as another sign that the clouds haven't cleared, I ran into my professor at the event whose class I "missed" earlier in the day. Perhaps it is time to give up badminton, log off and become a hermit.
