Tomorrow I leave for California for a good 5-6 days! I am finally excited, although I can’t believe it’s already Labor Day weekend. It will be a fun time. The first few days will be spent in Santa Cruz as Doublewide plays in the Labor Day Championships (on those gorgeous, gorgeous UCSC athletic fields), and the next few will be a tour of wine country, with beautiful drives and visits to the various wineries in Sonoma and Napa. It was be a nice break from these 100-degree days in Austin (not that it bothers me all that much). Of course,…
The last few days have been - well, let’s just say, they could have been better. A horribly annoying rash broke up on my bum/groin, which prompted me to go to the doctor, get a cortisone shot, and get some Vanos - i.e. a $450 tube of steroid cream - prescribed.

This past weekend I played in TBUF (beach ultimate) in Galveston, which was fun despite our defending champions…
Today is one of the sorest days my body has had in a very a long time. It hurts to laugh, I’m having trouble raising my arms above my head, and my legs feel like jello. As much as the pain is, though, I have to say… I miss feeling sore! For once I feel like I’m making progress, and it’s been awhile!
It’s been a frustrating battle the past few months, trying to get back into the exercise swing of things. As I summarized in this post, I’ve been going through a cycle of sickness and injury. It actually continued…
