For children's literature; especially in this hyper-paranoid country of ours, the ending is great. Most kids, I think, take it at face value ... Jonas and Gabriel sledding down the hill to a new life; everyone lives happily after. Of course it isn't at all clear if that this is literally what's happening or if they are simply being "released" on their own terms. The book really give kids a chance to think about freedom; especially the basic question as to what it really means to be free. Without dwelling on our current political climate, this book forces the reader think about the meaning of "safety" in society. Just how far do we want our leaders to go to ensure that we are 100% safe? Just what are the trade-offs between personal liberty and safety?<BR/><BR/>Man, you're going to be a great teacher.<BR/><BR/>Hope you get your leg figured out soon. I'd suggest you get a second opinion from another sports physiologist before going the steroid route. You don’t want to simply mask the problem while searching for a solution. You’ve got a life time of running ahead of you.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350841837453498786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34474971.post-66045995571643511392008-03-13T17:48:00.000-07:002008-03-13T17:48:00.000-07:00Hang in there!

I had a girl on my soccer team get an epidural - what they do is give you that to numb you, then they inject you with a strong steroid. So if it's your back, they would numb you with the epidural, then shoot cortisone (probably) directly into your spine (eek!). But it worked for her! I hope you get things figured out soon!runningtwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305295168294234477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34474971.post-55544368565265493792008-03-13T16:48:00.000-07:002008-03-13T16:48:00.000-07:00So I heard the steroids make you feel great and it...So I heard the steroids make you feel great and it's always a bummer getting off them.

It enthralled Eric and I as much as it did our boys, and conversations about it came up many times over the years.
