Okay, so not really that amazing in the Grand Scheme of Things, but I am still pretty pleased. I have been playing on the company coed soccer team for three weeks now, and tonight, for some reason that I still haven't grasped, Coach (that's Sean - he's a Manc) put me in as keeper. Yup, the silly Yank became a keeper for a team full of Pommies and Kiwis. NZ, Australia and the UK are better at soccer than America and I like to think that I embody that pretty well. In spite of all this, Sean threw me in as goaltender and I was probably 5-1 on saves to goals; not bad as far as I am concerned. Plus, we scored 3 to their 4 goals (although the final score was 3 to 6 since they got more points for goals scored by girls). Still, a satisfying night - maybe I do have a future as a pro ball player after all!
Never fear, pics from this last weekend's adventure are on their way!
Oh, and today's Phrase of the Week: Whinging Pommie...I love it! (you have to look it up to get the definition, and then use it!)

"...they got more points for goals scored by girls." Hmph. I don't know whether to be offended or jealous.
I would be inclined to say "proud" maybe - Kiwi girls are a pretty strong-headed bunch; you cannot push them around!
