I was halfway through my shower this morning before I realized that I hadn't turned on the light in the bathroom. Our bathroom does not have a plethora of natural light. The toe-stubbing thing was pretty apropos for me today.
I can tell you from personal experience, an 8-game losing streak to open the season is more like gout, than a mere stubbed toe. It hurts..a lot...but it's great when it finally goes away. But there remains the nagging dread that it can come back at any moment. Perhaps worse than ever.
