So I have a cut on my head.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Clearly, I did not cut myself shaving as I am not shaving my head (yet). So, what happened, you ask?<\/p>\n

Well, I got cut with a blade.<\/p>\n

Sounds tough, ainna? Well, not really. It’s clearly not a knife wound.<\/p>\n

An ice skate blade did this to me.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, no, I only wish it had happened doing something manly like hockey.<\/p>\n

For ten years except for a couple of trips to the ice park (well, maybe only one), my beautiful wife has hung her ice skates on a nail in the garage, a nail on the front of the built-in shelving. The shelves feature many such nails, and we hang grill brushes, calendars, and at one time a thermometer from these nails. And her skates, ostensibly to protect the blades from the damage that would occur if we just tumbled them in a bin with other sporting goods.<\/p>\n

So this weekend, when I was putting away some bottled water under the shelving, I stood up into the skates and nicked my head.<\/p>\n

It’s not the first time.<\/em><\/p>\n

So what makes this a very Brian J. injury? That I’ve not moved the skates to a nail in a more remote location in the garage. Partially this.<\/p>\n

But, more to the point: I have engaged in a month- (soon to be months-) long project of cleaning up and organizing my garage, which involves sorting, packing, and donating various jetsam that has appeared in our garage. And, during the course of this re-organization, I discovered knit ice skate blade covers, and they made their way to a diminishing pile of things on the floor to deal with later.<\/p>\n

So the very objects that would have protected my fragile gourd lie useless on the floor mere feet away whilst I cut myself on the ice skate blades. I worked around the ice skate blade covers during my working sessions and walked past them several times a day without taking a minute to actually put them on the ice skates.<\/p>\n

I have done so now.<\/p>\n

But it’s a very Brian J. thing to not do a little thing that eventually turns into a big thing. Or, in this case, a physical injury and perhaps a wicked scar whose origin I will hereafter obfuscate by saying, “I got cut,” and not want to talk about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
