Sports

Beginner League Hockey: Matt Sheldon (Sheldo) is the coach. I don't know if other teams have a coach, but it gives us an edge. We've won every game so far and the guys are telling me I "played like a champ." Alright, acceptance! Most people on the team are seniors, and they were champions last year, and Sheldo says "we will settle for nothing less than a dynasty." I do want to be up on the wall of champions.
Today we played against a fluffy team, so I played up front and got two shots on goal, and smashed into some opponents three different times (and collided with the goal post once). But I never fell down today on my own accord. Progress.

Dodgeball: The Possums definitely aren't the favored team in the dodgeball league; actually, we're probably the underdog team. True, sometimes we have been shellacked, but every game we get better and better, and when Neil and Twig actually show up, our odds of winning go up 50/50.
-- Update. We lost tonight. Neil didn't show up. I don't think we're making the playoffs. Last game is on Thursday. --

Running off-season: I found my goggles, so I can swim, but I still can't run on my knee. I can run once a week wearing the brace if I take good care of myself.

What's up with the knee? Must run in the family. Do you ice it? Hockey & Dodgeball must be really good for it. Love, Gr. C
