Keeping Busy
I've been playing a bit of football to keep my mind off the impending arrival of Baby G. This is at training the other day.

I collided with a Chinese goalkeeper last week, and he whacked his head really badly on concrete. A very scary moment, as he had to be whisked away in an ambulance. Thankfully, he was fine, and was released from hospital that day.
Posted by Gary at July 26, 2005 09:15 AMI had never seen you playing football before. So this pucture impressed me a lot! (You know, my image of you was mainly an English teacher smiling and wearing a Disney tie...^^)
I am glad to hear that the Chinese guy was fine. I bet it was scary moment for both of you. Actually I got a first ambulance ride in my life three weeks ago when I got a bike-car accident. (I was on the bike and I did a face-plant.) It was my scary moment when a doctor told me that I have a broken neck! Fotunately, the neck will heal and I don't have any other problems with my nerve system. I am SO happy to be still alive!

Hey, did you loose weight? ;-)
Hope your opponent is alright.

You and Your wife are strong, strong people. I was unashamedly close to tears through a good portion of it. I wish You the best in Your future and Your site is really, really great.
