I’ll be back blogging in a few days I promise! Enjoy these videos from the Austin Ice Storm … Read more
Last night I went for a late night run…it was about 9:30pm. There is just something about running in the night, the solitude, the winter breezes…well not really winter, it was like 55 degrees last night. I had been listening to the Rocky soundtrack all day, so of course I pulled on my hoodie and … Read more
I’ve been at work for 9 hours now…going on ten…and I have been doing a lot besides working. I updated all the myspace pages that I host (mostly rugby sites), cleaned out my files/photos, and started looking at a weight training program recently emailed to me.

As always they were intrigued that such a small person plays rugby and doesn’t get hurt more often. The only major injuries I have had from … Read more
Hey all, Borrowed this from Put me in Coach! Nice little video that explains some of the finer points of mauling and the successes of correct technique. When I moved to Austin I was unsure of directing mauling as a scrumhalf…because I had never done much of it. We ran a few practices over just … Read more
A few people have complained that they can’t see the calendar very well in the blogger window. It is an interesting dilemma as I wish I could just have the calendar show the weekends, but no option exists for Google Calendar. I also tried making the calendar bigger and then my posts were tiny tiny … Read more

Coming to you LIVE…from my gym…and TYPING WITH TWO HANDS! Hell yes baby! Sadly, yes I am at work.

And hell, rugby … Read more
