Nice NOT to be needed...

I'm well on the way to recovery now. I'm pretty sure I only walk with a slight limp that you wouldn't notice unless you were looking for it and I imagine that's all due to the brace I'm wearing. BUT it will be a while before I'm back playing sports. I think I'm going to try hockey on Monday (a skate is really just a brace with a blade right?) but volleyball, squash, running will have to wait.

It really was a crappy time to get injured but there's never really a good time. Thankfully my teams have been kicking ass without my help. Don't worry, I still know that I'm a very valuable part of each team.

The Golddiggers - With two straight playoff wins we clinched the title. I was at both games to coach, scream, and take pictures. Jeff was down from Edmonton for both and played a huge role. One goal and one assist in the first 4-3 win and then a beauty goal in the 6-0 beating to win it all last Sunday. It was the best games I've seen them play all year, really came through for playoffs. I have a pretty sweet plaque hanging on my wall at home now.

The Leafs - My Conoco team at work has been scraping by. Won the first playoff game by a few goals but had to come back from a 4-1 deficit to a 5-4 win on Monday to continue. I was also lending my coaching skills there. We play the Northstars in the semi-finals on Monday.

The 5-Foot-Blocks - Well we haven't been winning everything but they did manage to move up from 12th to 10th on Monday. Good work team. I won't be back before the end of the season but I'll still be there to party it up.

In other news, Nevin and I are moved into "his" new place. Left work at noon yesterday, rented a U-Haul, and just got 'er done. I had my first meal of the day at 5:00 pm...long story...but gave me the energy to continue. The place is way south but very nice. Just have to work on the showers. Mine was so powerful this morning (with that stupid water saver shower head that focuses the water into little laser beams) that it opened up some of the scabs I had on my hands from moving the day before. Love the water volume and pressure...let's just get a real nozzle or something else intelligent.

Time to go celebrate a great drilling season. Lunch starts at 1:00 at La Dolce Vita Ristorante and our instructions are to eat, drink, and don't bother going back to work.
