Last Saturday we had a Boy Scout overnighter and I slept on the ground inside my tent.  As the day went on my back tightened up more and more.  I was real nervous because I've been teasing my Ragnar team about not being able to run.  Thursday I stepped on a rusty nail and had to go to Urgent Care.  I told them I hoped my foot wouldn't fall off.  Now, I that I was really hurt, I felt like the Boy Who Cried Wolf.  Anyway, I've been taking care of it, and today it felt ok.  I ran 3 miles and it did fine, so I think I'll be all right for Vegas this weekend.

I love you all so much.

You didn't push any rocks down on your scout trip did you?

If you did send me the video link.

From Burt on Wed, Nov 06, 2013 at 16:46:43 from 71.216.109.214

allie - I didn't think about that when I pulled it out of my foot and chucked it over the fence.

Rob - Do you think that people follow me around with video cameras? I'm not trying to keep up with the Kardashians!

From Rob on Wed, Nov 06, 2013 at 16:49:41 from 204.15.86.95

Everyone is being followed by Video Cameras these days.

It makes Santa's job much easier.

Just remember...deuces are wild!

Burt- have fun at Ragnar. RAD- the only wild deuce is Deuce Bigelo~ Burt's alter-ego.

Hope you got a tetanus shot.

From SlowJoe on Sun, Nov 10, 2013 at 09:17:11 from 166.147.72.34

He's been kind of quiet ever since he got lockjaw.

From Burt on Mon, Nov 11, 2013 at 13:16:01 from 71.216.109.214

I actually did not get a tetanus shot even though we talked about it. I just asked myself - what would Chuck Norris do?

From Tara on Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 00:25:42 from 75.169.140.248

I love you all so much. Lol.

How'd the Ragnar go?

From Burt on Fri, Nov 15, 2013 at 07:46:24 from 71.216.109.214

It went pretty good Rhett. Maybe some day I'll blog about it :)
