Wanna play frisbee? No, that might be bad. Hope you feel better & that your nose isn't crooked.

Glad to hear you are OK! We'll just have to chase down those guys at the Lake who jumped you on your boat.

Does this mean all those face plants you do wont hurt now? Or they may hurt even more...

See you in a few months. Maybe you can come out and drive and be a third sometime soon.

Keep on the pain medicine and take it easy man!

Daniel,
Glen was just kidding.

I was was kicked in the face in a freak accident while playing soccer, and I fractured parts of my Zygoma and orbital bone in 5 places.

Althought the fight story is more glamorous
(I Guess) it was not the case.

Glen see what you started!!!!!

wow Erik, I've had face accidents before, some of them hurt too, but holy crap. I would've been crying like a little baby. Anyways, I'm glad to hear the surgery was a success and your Zygoma and Orbital bone will be fixed good as new in notime, but I can assure you that 10 or 12 weeks will seem like 10-12 months. Get well soon.

Glad to hear things went well, Erik. When you are all healed up, we need to test the new hardware out at the airport!

! I think I seen Team Valdez actually had to turn their heads and cough for one of the security guys on our last trip (j/k-lol)!

Jeff,
I am going to Orlando on the 11th of April so we are going to see if those alarms go off.

Thanks
Erik

Erik--way to keep up a good sense of humor..
Just a FYI thing.. Lisa(my G/F) has three metal plates and over a dozen screws permantly in her left arm(motorcycle accident)-maybe I told you the story, anyways the metal detectors never went off at the airport. You would think they would, but never a Beep... Although she does take doctors info with her just incase..
