it's been a while ...

It has been a while since I have got to my Blog, thanks to all the supporters for their 2 bobs worth, STS. Where do I start.

The weekend was a bit of a wash out TV wise, a friend from out of town came to stay and getting old as we are, each night we seemed to find ourselves plonked on the couch watching the BOX, but I guess this could be technically classified as entertaining as this is what he wanted to do, not that there was much else to do with a sleeping two year old in the house. It wasn't like we could drink or head to the casino.... SO

Well as another distraction to avoid the BOX, among Uni and now the GYM which I started at the beginning of this month, I have joined an American Football Team or NFL - as they put it a legal form of violence. I like the technical side of the game, and you don't have to be super athlete to be good or participate. I made my first completion in a scratch match the other night and it felt so good. (a completion is running a play to achieve a first down, advancing the field towards the end-zone. FYI) I am quite excited about the team and a little nervous about the contact side, as we haven't padded up yet, so I am sure it is going to get a lot more physical. Not to mention after training, not that I have trained before or for over 4 hours like I did, but I was SO SO sore. I could hardly move, on the plus side, I am a little sore today, but considering, I think I have bounced back quite well.

I am consciously making an effort to turn of the BOX every day, tonight I watch Packed to the Rafters and Parenthood - the new US TV series on 7. After they were finished I turned it off rather than wasting the rest of the night away on the couch. So I did some much needed study, and obviously wrote this post so I am going to leave on that note because I feel quite good that I have been somewhat productive tonight.

GO the Curtin Saints ......
