A ton of calories and a broken foot

Well, the totals are in:

• 520 slices of pizza
• 400 hot dogs
• 118 brats
• 240 hamburgers
• 300 pretzels
• 137 nachos
• 985 pieces of candy
• 299 bags of chips
• 1488 drinks

Looks like the concession stand for the Royal Invitational last weekend was a popular place. It sure was rocking all night long. Can you imagine how many calories were consumed in about 6 hours? I heard lots of positive comments so far from those who participated in the contest, as well as from numerous volunteers. That's very exciting.

Trust me when I tell you, this hurts!

As I stated in a previous posting, my feet were aching. They have been kinda sore lately, but boy, were they sore today. Actually, my toe was numb. Broke down and went to the doctor only to find out I not only have a broken toe but also a broken foot. Don't ask me how I did this because I really don't know. I wish I could tell you something really exciting like I was water skiing or mountain climbing and slipped. All I do know is that my feet were not sore in China. After that I don't actually remember when my left foot started hurting so much. I have to see a podiatrist on Thursday so I don't have any news about the treatment plan.

The board meeting went smoothly last night. Mark, another Fulbright Scholar, and I talked about China for about 30 minutes. The audience of teens getting meeting hours for Government Class enjoyed the discussion. And, in celebration of the Moon Festival in China, I had mooncakes for everyone to eat. They students were pleased to have treats at a board meeting. I'll fill you in later this week on the status of my foot and will include a lovely picture of "the boot".
