Rugby Restart

Last night our rugby club officially ended the summer off-season with a touch rugby tournament. Teams were randomly selected and my team made it to the finals, but lost by two tries. It was a fun evening and most people were in good spirits. One of the coaching staff lost his cool a couple of times and started screaming, which is totally ridiculous. It was supposed to be a fun event and not taken that seriously, but this individual has problems.

With that exception pointed out the rest of us had a nice evening. Next week we start regular practice. I'm worried about the ongoing 100+ degree temperatures and the effect of doing full contact practice during this weather. We'll muscle through it, take breaks, and drink lots of water. I need to get my damned arthritic shoulder looked at, too. Not sure if the Doc will be willing to inject more steroids, or if he's going to say the time has come for surgery.  Sigh. Getting older isn't always fun!
