Okay, so last week, I blew out my knee chasing Lil Boosie’s mom out of the courthouse. For the uninitiated, Boosie is a notorious Baton Rouge rapper with a huge regional following. He’s up on murder charges which have nothing to do with this post, but make for a fun story.

Now I’m on injured reserve. Like a highly trained athlete with a finely tuned physique who is now on crutches on the sideline, I find myself bored out of my mind. I’m stuck behind a desk on edit detail for at least another week (longer if the docs decide later this week that I need surgery.)

So, what the hell do you guys do when you’re forced out of the game for a while? This houseboy stuff is about to drive me nuts. . . Unless it rains, then, I’ll gladly hide behind my computer screen and cry "Crutches!" every time the assignment desk looks my way.
