The Boss

Lately I have been referring to a handicapped gymnast friend of mine as The Boss. No special reason except that I feel like that name suits him. But today I bumped into some fellow and when I told this man a funny story about The Boss, he said "Are you friends with Springsteen?" And I kinda nodded and said "How do you know?" I didn't correct him when he said that name wrong (with an extra s), because I have always called my friend "Mr Springteen" as a nickname, because he is a handicapped gymnast (he lost four toes on his foot) and can jump on his one toe like crazy. But now I'm wondering. How does he know that The Boss is Mr Springteen? I am very confused.

i am tweeting this while the game against the lions is still ongoing (we're 10-20 behind) but i just have to say this is the biggest coincidence i have ever heard. Wish me luck in the comeback. Good luck with your blog.

I was a gymnast for 20 years. I have strong toes but I don't think I could jump on just one. This friend sounds very special :)
