60. How did you get one of your scars?
I have three scars with decent stories. One, on the front of my shin, is from shaving when I was like…14. I sliced my leg open and didn’t notice until later, and you can totally still tell where it happened. Another, I was skateboarding (which was not a common activity for me) and I hit a wire in the street and flew off, did a 180 in the air and skidded on my elbow. The first one I ever had was where I got hit in the face with a rusty shovel that some kids had dug out of a creek and were sliding down a playground slide. I was really little. My dad, the eternal hockey player, just put a butterfly bandage on it. Awesome. Though I think that scar gets a little harder to see every year.
