If You're Going to Play, You Might as Well Win...

I remember Dad telling me this at siome point when I became involved with competitive sports - I think it fueled my natural tendancy towards competition, and as I later learned - I enjoy winning, but more importantly, in things that mattered to me, I HATE TO LOSE.

To actually come to this realization you have to lose alot, and I have - I also came to the realization that - I LOVE TO COMPETE.

We (The Loyalists) played our first New Brunswick Rugby Union league game on Saturday against the Belleisle Rovers - The game was fun, we played hard and finished well, they played hard and never gave up - in the end the scoreline of 60-20 wasn't really indicative of the match, but in the end we are now 1-0 and have gotten off to a good start to our 2006 campaign.

On the Sophie front - today we were visited by My cousins Jamie and Jen, my Aunt Rhoda and Jamie's fiancé Danielle, it was nice for them all to meet Sophs for the first time speaking of Sophie, she's turned into quite the little jumper - the video was nothing - I think she'll be trying out for the 2024 Olympics, that is if they sanction the Jolly Jumper as a medal Sport, hey ballroom dancing is, can jolly jumping be far behind, but as malcolm says - If you're going to play, you might as well win...
