That's gonna leave a mark

I was working a jr. hi game this afternoon.

After a change of possession, while I was signalling for the clock to stop, some over-eager kid ran onto the field and smacked his facemask right into my elbow area.

If you touch your right shoulder with your right hand, it's about two fingers up from the elbow.

Hurt like hell.  And, yes, there's a mark.  And a little bit of swelling.  And a little bit of stiffness.

In other news, the back is fine!
