The blog entry that answers the question, Can you be a jock and a geek at the same time? It seems you can. I offer as evidence: I have a book just out, it's my nephew's birthday, the Democrats are back in power in Congress, and what am I most excited about? My new ankle braces! For a year and a half I've been wearing Aircasts when I play basketball. It's a good product but they don't make them small enough for me, which leads to two irritations: the material under my foot can bunch up; but worse, the ends of the velcro straps wind up on the insides of my ankles because of how tight I have to pull them. Then as I run they rub against each other and loosen each other, and suddenly I have no ankle support, and a flapping strap. It's a very big pain in the neck. So I went out and bought McDavids, which I used for the first time yesterday. Boy, do they work! I ran, I jumped, I shot, and I feel great. So if you have small feet and are looking for supports, I recommend these. And if a geek is someone who gets excited about technology, I guess I am one!
