Ahhhh.....time to relax....

Finally, a well deserved break this week and I had a chance to go back home...........a perfect time as I started to develop a small but debilitating injury called 'lace-bite' right on the flection of my left ankle........yea, believe it or not, it can make a grown man cry.........seriously, this seemingly nothing injury can put you out for a while so these past 4 days spent at home doing nothing hopefully helped........I'll find out for sure on Monday.

So......I say I did nothing, but nothing includes, cleaning the windows, prepping the garden, winterizing the house, putting away all outside furniture, prepping the lawn mower for hibernation, hauling firewood, selling lawn bags door to door for my daughter's hockey team, meet the teacher evening at her school too, etc........ahh, yes, relaxing.........

Of course, my daughter helped out every step of the way.........even my wife held the ladder a few times while I was cleaning windows but I could have sworn that I felt it move from time to time...........we just recently got life insurance......hmmmm.....??

Although the break was great, and it was awesome to see my girls, especially since it was our 12th wedding anniversary, it was time I got back to my reality.....

I feel that October will be a very productive month after setting a solid training base in September. I am looking towards pushing new limits during this month and really applying all technical aspects correctly while at high speed.

With the Dinos, we have one more pre-season game and then the real season begins........it looks like it is shaping up to be a great and interesting one.

So for now, good-bye home cooked meals...........until next month.........and to all that have continued to donate financially, thank you for your generosity........I can rest easy for at least two more months.
