I got one a few months ago that is my abslolute favourite, not sure if it counts. Important context, I'm 40 but still play soccer with folks as young as 20. So, one game I'm defending against a young fast kid and beat him to the ball (barely!) a few times in a row on long ball chases. After the third or fourth time he looks over after the race and says "You're really fast for an... uhhh uh uh, you're really fast!"

He meant so well and it was adorable watching him realize mid sentence that I probably didn't want to be called an old man.

Sounds like the edited for tv version but for Republicans.

Oh interesting, I'll look into that. I've always felt pretty tuckered after beach volleyball so just assumed that was somehow higher impact.

Thank you!

You'd best believe I'm ordering these books ASAP!

I definitely kept getting hurt because of the bro-ey "MORE WEIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS!" attitude, keen to try the opposite.

You're fully right on the attitude. Part of why I love these teams is somehow we keep attracting just awesome groups of people so even though everyone plays their heart out, it's still laughs and loves when we get ragdolled.

Interesting idea moving up to forward. I always joke about how scary that half of the field is but I'm not a terrible distributor and don't mind just being bigger at people in the box...

I'll definitely follow up with you at some point if you're down. Right now, I've got to heal this dumb foot but then, yoga, the gym and maybe slowly transitioning to forward to get some practice there with friends before trying that on a new team.

Really appreciate the kind words and support!

Oh cool, I'd never heard of a packraft but they seem awesome!

Fully recommend ocean kayaking. My buddy had an attachment so he'd basically be trawling a fishing line behind the boat so more often than not, we'd have fresh caught, ready for dinner when we landed.

Oh dang, I've always had a soft spot for the Habs, they're so much fun to root for. Must be fun now that you're on the upswing with Suzuki, Caufield, Hutson and co!

Thanks for thoughts on Hughes, myself and most of the city feel similarly.

Hmmm, that seems so counter intuitive but I will give that a shot!

A 30 minute workout?!? That feels like cheating, I am DOWN!

Ha, I fully get the appeal of getting away from the younglings! I'm lucky, I can still keep pace with most of them. Which led to my favourite accidental burn:

Defending against some fast kid (okay, early 20s) and I beat him a few times on sprints to long balls. After the 3rd or 4th time, he says "man, you're really fast for an... " then pauses, re-evaluates, "uhhh , you're really fast!"
