Saturday Morning

I took this week off from rugby for a couple of reasons; allergies are killing WifeRat and BabyRat so they weren't going to come this week, I blew off Thursday practice to go to the Nats game, a friend of mine from high school is coming for dinner tonight, and I also had the Ward 6 Education Forum this morning. The wife has been awesome about letting me play as much rugby as I wanted to this Spring, so I try to repay the favor by taking off weeks (like this one) when playing is going to be a hassle for the fam. We could have made it work, but I try not to be dogmatic about my "right" to play rugby.

BabyRat's allergies are really bad this morning and she's super fussy, so we decided to skip the Ward 6 Education Forum and right now we're all sitting on the couch watching the Backyardigans. I would have liked to go, but the forum seemed like it might be little more of a circle jerk than I cared to deal with on a Saturday morning.
