Don't Let Me Down

We've had a bit of a hiccup in our schedule over here. The Newport High School Old Boys had to back out of there game with us on Monday so we are now playing tonight vs. Blackpool and tomorrow in our regularly scheduled final game vs. Cross Keys. This has meant that our preperation went a little off the rails on Sunday. After a long day out with the Loyalist crew, walking the city and laughing like little kids on vacation. We went to see a movie and then went back to the hostel to relax. We were then told the news of the switch and were quickly back downtown doing some 'team bonding' over beers. Yesterday was a bit of a wash because of it. We did have a training session and are now gearing up for the game vs. Blackpool.

The one thing I am left thinking about at this point is the prospect of playing two matches in 24 hours when I am already sore. I like to think of myself as an old sports car; I am still finely tuned (and some might say lady-driven) but I have high mileage. I can't be run too hard. We shall see how it goes. In the meantime, here's is another Welsh band singing what I keep telling my chassis:

That is also one of my favourite songs.

One last note: Nancy sent me a link last night to an article on the front page of the gleaner. I love that one line - "One of the good news items out of that is we now are not Nova Scotia - who would want to be, let's put it that way. Especially on New Brunswick Day, I think we're all proud of that, and we owe a debt of gratitude to Ned Winslow."

Classic Dad, classic.

Happy New Brunswick day...we are representing.

Pace out.
