Against all odds, I was able to play soccer this morning. I would have never believed this possible given the pain I was in on Friday. The chiropractic adjustment, hourly ice treatments, and ibuprofen regimen did the trick. I played for 40 minutes straight before I pulled a calf muscle which ended the game for me. Fortunately, it is not too bad and I expect to be ready for the next game. This afternoon, I helped with the driving for Nico and 8 of his classmates to the Arnold Arboretum. They have a science assignment to identify and collect leaves from a list of 50 trees, many of which are found here. While the kids conducted their search, I found some interesting photographic subjects of my own. This bloom could look a lot like a stand-alone tree to me.
