Sorry for the lack of posts today, but I've been busy catching up on some things now that we are back at home.
Late last night, on our way back from Lansing, we had some drama involved with the bus ride home. Just east of Elkhart, a motorcyclist in front of us hit a deer and wiped out entirely. Oscar, the best bus driver in the world, hit the brakes hard and expertly handled the bus well to avoid hitting anything.
As the bus came to a stop along the shoulder, manager Mark Haley, trainer Brian Czachowski, strength coach Mike Schofield and I all piled out to go check on the biker. I dialed 9-1-1 while Brian found the man in the grass off the side of the road and made sure he was alright (remarkably, he only had road rash on the arm -- no broken bones, no head injuries, nothing).
Everyone on the bus was fine, and after waiting for the police and ambulance to get there, we were on our way. I'm happy to report that the biker appears to be okay as well, but it sure makes you think about how precious life is sometimes. He's lucky to be alive.
