nationals was pretty fun, although sporting team box athletico united came 6th. we had hoped to do better. coffs harbor was a small town and it rained on us. we had some injuries. (crime box, whale, huswald) we lost a huge game to the national team from new zealand. we won two great games in the stadium on the nicest grass i've ever played on. then we lost two games in a row to sydney's wildcard to get bounced out of the semi's bracket. we ended up 6th, and the 5/6 game was lost on universe point. here's a write up of the overall tournament. here's heaps of pictures if you've got the time to dig around (mom).
i had a great time playing with team box and i have some truly great friends on that team. i'll miss playing with them heaps.
mama and i had a great road trip down. we celebrated her birthday in byron bay and i had a lot of fun returning to some of the places jesse and i saw last july. we swam on the rocky beach, had some dinner, some sleep, a great massage and a great brunch. we are adorable:
and mama shares my respect for oral hygiene.
here's me at the major coff's harbour tourist attraction, the big banana

So last night I dreamt that you, some random guy, and I had to drive to Canada to dispose of a very mean donkey's remains. I hope you're as disturbed by that as I am.
On the bright side, you spent most of the trip making up funny characters and book titles.
Really gotta cut down on the evening wine, methinks.
thanks so much for your mother's day comment. the fact that i am the only mother that you have had doen nottake away from the thought.
love u
