Going into baseball practice, my body was feeling kind of old. Creaky knee. Sore leg. Tired upper body. You get the idea.
Thankfully, after a few minutes of playing catch with the kids and running around a little, I was beginning to feel limbered up.
Then came team huddle time. As I jogged toward the group all I heard was, “Here, Dad.” Followed by a white flash that landed with a hard thud on my toe.
Nothing like a wayward throw to bring a guy back to Earth. Nothing like a child’s game to bring your age back into perspective.
