Several years ago I was playing in an indoor soccer league. I was playing keeper and got hit in the eye with the ball. Detached a retina which required all kinds of crap including sitting on my ass for at least a week. No reading. I literally could only watch television.
I was supposed to start a trial in Montgomery County that week. We had a hearing with the judge on getting the trial date reset and she said something like: "wait a minute. you got hit in the eye while playing goalie? Aren't goalies allowed to use their hands?" Needless to say, lots of laughs in the courtroom.
Mom died of cancer at age 61 19 years ago.
As far as the movie, as I've said in other threads, I've tried to like it. I watched it several times and can't make it happen. Sorry Swayze. RIP by the way.
