Back in the saddle again!

After a long time away from the blog, I am finally back! Why was I away? Simply put, work and an injury conspired to leave me with little free time. Several months ago, I ruptured my achilles tendon while exercising. The injury severed the tendon that connects my calf muscle to my heel. The daily rehabilitation exercises for that are pretty time intensive.

I am back to playing league darts, since I don't have to stand too much. Function is slowly returning with the guidance of some good physical therapists (shout out to Craig and Jen at St. Peters in New Brunswick). I am hoping another two months and I will be back to my normal activities and work out.

Currently I am playing American Baseball darts once a week at an in-house league in Neptune, NJ. Kelly's Tavern treats us right, feeding us a nice dinner with some good drink specials. Like most American Baseball leagues, it is handicapped to give everyone a fair shot at winning. Our four man team includes me, Tom Waterman, Mike Lazur, and Gary. I'm not used to being the team noob, but I still don't yet have the hang of the "Widdie" darts. It will be a continuing learning experience.

Keep looking for more posts. I will report the team results weekly, and as I become better able to venture out and maybe hit some steel tournaments I will cover those as well. Until then, good darts!
