Spring Schedule Takes Shape

With snow in the forecast its a good time to turn your thoughts to the Spring and all the fun you're going to be having playing rugby.

The most observant amongst you will notice that we've finally taken down last Fall's schedule, and the front page now shows what's in the works for the coming Spring. It's still a bit of a work in progress, while Ed works to fit in a couple more home games for us, but it gives you some idea of which weekends you need to keep free.

So far we've got 3 people who are CIPP'ed and another, mostly different, 3 people who have paid their dues. That's not going to get us where we need to be, now is it? Yeah, I know February has one less pay-day in it, but at the very least get yourself on the payment plan so that Matt doesn't have to break out his special brand of grumpy on you.

Lastly, the snow is not scheduled to start until 3am tonight/tomorrow, so that would make it a completely crap excuse for not making it to training tonight.

Marcos got a new hat too

What goes on in the off season?

People have babies, that's what.
While we had our backs turned Marcos slipped one past the goalie and came up with this little bundle of joy, who as you can see, shares his dad's love for knit caps.

Apparently his name is D. Oliver Miller-Nichols, which sounds more like a law firm to me, so lets just call him baby-dee, mkay?

Well, The Big D arrived on Jan 2nd, and weighed in at a very health 8.5 lbs. while touching the tape at 21 inches.

Jan 2nd? Well, yes, as you know that happens to be the eighth day of Christmas, which would entitle you to eight "maids a-milking" from your true love, and that comes particularly handy when you're being breastfed.

Also OTDIH? Well [deep breath] UK captures Calcutta, Georgia ratifies the Constitution, Poland is partitioned (not for the last time), the planet Vulcan is "discovered", Brigham Young is arrested for bigamy, the Russsian fleet surrenders to Japan in Port Arthur, the Liberty Ship program is announced, King Zog of Albania abdicates (no really), JFK announces his candidacy for president, the Jets sign Joe Namath, the national speed limit is lowered to 55mph to conserve gas, the Yorkshire Ripper is arrested, Stardust flies past Comet Wild 2, the Sago Mine Disaster happens and the Redwings retire Steve Yzerman's jersey [phew].

Birthdays? Isaac Assimov, Jim Bakker, Dennis Hastert, Hugh Shelton, Jack Hanna, David Cone, Tia Carrere, Cuba Gooding Jr., Christy Turlington, Tommy Morrison, Reuben Thorne and Kate Bosworth. Just to name a few.

Welcome, D-Man.
