too .. much .. soccer

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Halifax, 2004.06.20

For reasons that I still can't explain, I decided to join some of my colleagues in playing a game of soccer this afternoon. We played for 2.5 hours or so. The Chinese, Iranian, and Argentinian representatives played circles around.. well, around me, for a start.

The game only ended about three two hours ago and already I'm stiffening up, despite my stretches. In my defense, I think this was the twenty anniversary or thereabouts of the last time I played(!).
