the Kevin Episode

I guess since I mentioned it in my last blog it's only fair that I should tell you about it now.

Superbowl Sunday - beer, TV, food, men being boys again, maybe a little rough-housing, etc. That's how it begins. Add a dirt bike and some marital discord. Oops!

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Shirley and Kevin had words. Shirley left. Kevin got on his dirt bike to do some more wheelies up and down the street. Add the beer and emotions, though, and the wheelies got a little more speed and ... CRASH!!

Almost right in front of Denny's house. The bike continued to run, no damage there. He wasn't wearing a helmet but didn't hit his head. He has some bad road rash, 2 torn tendons in his foot and a torn calf muscle - badly torn, nearly completely severed.

Weeks of recuperation. I hope it was worth it (that's a mom for you).
