Pace on Earth

A Fifth of Beethoven

My week's "vacation" at the Regent St. Resort in St. John's is now over. There was tons of good food and good drink but there was also a fitness test and 1, and sometimes 2, rugby practices everyday. This week was being used, in conjunction with a weekend camp in Freddy in July and the week in Walesto pick the Atlantic Rock which is the region's entry in the Americas Rugby Championship. The team was picked on Wednesday and tomorrow morning we leave for game 1 in Calgary on Labour Day. Brent, Jebb, Chauncey and myself and the latter three of us made the starting squad. That works out to a fifth of the starting squad from NB. The coaching staff has done a good job of making this squad feel like a team but before our game I do need to give a nod to NB rugby for putting its stamp on this team. And because that makes me happy, this song seems appropriate beyond its title:

Pace out.
