My last post consisted of things I would never do again after rugby. Now, 3 weeks post 7’s World Cup, I am staying true to my word.
At 1 week, I wandered around lost and looked at Facebook pictures every day. Although free from dress codes I wore USA gear everyday.
For 2 weeks I ate all [...]

Now you may think this little guy looks pretty excited.  I wish I had a camera with me last night because I think I looked just like that at about 7:30.  You see the past three and a half years of my life, I have spent most of the winter months on a cold, dark [...]

8. Eat 4 [...]
