Back in the winter of 2010-2011, I was having pain in my left foot and went to see a physical therapist for a few sessions. It was hurting really badly when I was walking around in Pittsburgh<\/a> while I was at the 2010 Dublin Core meeting. The therapist told me that it was a good idea to get a foot massage ball, so I bought this green one.<\/p>\n

When Rach was here for her first work week last August, what we started calling the longest sleepover party of the summer<\/a>, we discovered how useful the green ball was for the neck and shoulders. You can put it on the floor, and roll your neck over it and get a really nice de-kinking. The cats like to play with these balls, so you never know where they’ll end up. In September we went away for TIFF<\/a> and I never saw the green ball again. Sometime after we got back from TIFF, I was biking home for work, and saw this pink one in the gutter.<\/p>\n

Took it home, ran it through the dishwasher. and used it for massages a few times. The pink ball spent most of the 2013-14 winter on the shelves underneath the TV.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday this week, when I went out to get the newspapers, the green ball was on the floor in the front hall. And now the pink one is nowhere to be found.\u00a0 Of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
