  I have to admit something to you, because they say that is the first step. The first step in what? I don’t know. But I’m sure it’s important. So here goes:

I have a fear of Lacrosse. Actually not of the sport itself, but of trying to say something relevant and meaningful about it, because all I know about Lacrosse is that it is a sport. (I’m not even sure if I should be capitalizing it like I am.)

Since I’m trying to work plugs for my fellow blogathoners into each of my posts before the month is out, I knew I needed to say something.

Needless to say, I’ve been dreading this one a little. But after finally visiting Barb Adamski’s Lacrosse Blog, I can say this:

Those pictures she links to are really, REALLY cool. And the YouTube video she posted on May 9 (can’t seem to directly link to it) gives me the impression this is a high-energy sport of the kind that leaves moms like me thinking, “With all those sticks swinging around somebody’s bound to get hurt.”

The music in the video is pretty awesome too.

So there you have it. I no longer need to worry about Lacrosse. Thanks, Barb, for helping me stare down that fear.
